Those fans belong to that singer. The fandom of singer Im Young-woong, 'Hero Era', has shown its positive influence by making donations.
On the 2nd, the Korea Childhood Cancer Foundation announced, "With the enthusiastic participation of fans supporting Im Young-woong, the 2 million won prize won at the Good Star May King Contest has been donated in Im Young-woong's name to support emergency treatment costs for children with pediatric cancer, leukemia, and rare incurable diseases."
Good Star is a platform where fans participate in support voting, and donations are made in the name of the star based on the rankings achieved. This donation, made possible by the warm support and encouragement of the fan club Hero Era towards Im Young-woong, is a representative example of how love for music can expand into social value.
Including this donation, the total amount donated in Im Young-woong's name has reached 100,398,000 won.
The donation will be used for the emergency treatment cost support project of the Korea Childhood Cancer Foundation. It will help families of pediatric cancer patients who are struggling with treatment costs by covering hospitalization fees, medication costs, and related expenses. This project focuses on helping families in economic crisis to concentrate solely on treatment.
Hong Seung-yoon, director of the Korea Childhood Cancer Foundation, stated, "Im Young-woong's donation is providing practical help to families of patients struggling with treatment costs. We support his future activities as he continues to practice sharing consistently and plays a central role in positive influence."
The charitable actions of Im Young-woong's fans have continued. In March, during the support for the wildfire damage in the Gyeongnam region, they donated about 600 million won. Combined with the 400 million won donation from Im Young-woong and his agency, a total of about 1 billion won was donated from the singer and his fandom.
Meanwhile, Im Young-woong recently won the Best Solo Male Award at 'ASEA 2025'.
