Chun-gil and Fans Make Kimchi for Neighbors in Hometown Yeoju
Chun-gil and his fans prepared kimchi in Yeoju on the 13th for distribution to local neighbors through the Ganam-eup Community Security Council. The volunteer event follows donations supporting the city, a local festival and young people preparing for independent living.
Singer Chun-gil joined members of his official fan cafe in his hometown of Yeoju on the 13th to make kimchi for local neighbors, continuing their community work following earlier donations and support for young people preparing for independent living.
The kimchi prepared during the “Miracle Love Sharing Kimchi Volunteer Service” will be distributed to neighbors across Yeoju through the Ganam-eup Community Security Council. The event was organized to bring warmth to people in need and put the value of sharing into practice.
Participants included Chunsarang, a Chun-gil fan group formed around Yeoju, and fans from across the country. Chunsarang members donated kimchi ingredients, cleaned and prepared them, and helped with advance preparations. Official fan cafe members and other participating fans also helped prepare for the event and make the kimchi. The source did not give a participant count from the organizers or fan group.
Chun-gil has expressed a wish to do meaningful work with his fans, according to the source, and they have joined him in donations and volunteering. Their community activities have also included using Yeoju rice as promotional gifts, connecting their support for the singer with his hometown.
