It was belatedly found out that the star had donated 50 million won (approximately $43,600) to the victims of a fire that occurred on January 15 at Yeosu Fish Market. Due to the fire that happened after midnight, 116 stores caught fire and about 7 billion won (approximately $6.1 million) worth of property was damaged.
According to reports from Hope Bridge Association of the National Disaster Relief, Yoo Jae Suk deposited 50 million won to Hope Bridge’s donation account in his name on January 18, just three days after the fire.
Hope Bridge stated, “When the huge amount was deposited to our account in the name ‘Yoo Jae Suk,’ we contacted FNC Entertainment to confirm.” Even Yoo Jae Suk’s manager reportedly did not know of his donation until the phone call.
Yoo Jae Suk met some of the store owners of Yeosu Fish Market when “Running Man” visited the location to film in December of 2011.
Yoo Jae Suk also donated 50 million won to the Seomun market victims last December.
A source from Hope Bridge added, “There are many more donations that Yoo Jae Suk has done in secret.”
