Dongwan, Generously Donates 15 Million Won to Disaster Victims

Group Shinhwa's Kim DongWan generously donated 15 million won (equivalent to USD $15,600) to aid flood disaster victims.

As a result of Typhoon Ewiniar, the recent rainstorms had created massive property and personal losses. Kim DongWan, without prior discussion with his management company, called KBS 1TV's 'Love's Request' on the morning of the 18th, expressing his hope of helping the disaster victims and whereby donated 15 million won.

On the 15th, Kim DongWan, during his solo performance at Shinhwa's '2006 STATE OF THE ART in Busan' held at Busan's BEXCO, fell off the stage and dislocated his right shoulder. Fortunately, after receiving emergency treatment, it was found that his injury was not serious.

In a private meeting after the Pusan concert, Kim DongWan revealed, "I have just heard the news about the KangWon JiBang citizens suffering from the flood disaster. Seeing them losing their homes and family members, I feel extremely grievous." Good EMG also indicated, "We have also found out about this only after Kim DongWan's donation on 'Love's Request.'"
