Broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung donated 16 million won from the stationery set that he collaborated with Monami to the domestic donation group Hope Pebble, followed by an additional 100 million won personally.
Hope Pebble announced on the 31st, “Jinkyung Hong donated the entire proceeds of 16 million won from the ‘Study King Jinkyung Hong Jinkyung X Monami Stationery Set’. .
In the YouTube ‘Study King Genius’, which was released on the 26th, Hong Jin-kyung went to deliver 16 million won from the stationery set that he collaborated with Monavi to to the Pebble of Hope.
At that time, Hong Jin-kyung said, “It’s a bit odd to donate only 16 million won. I’ll add it.” He said, “Isn’t it better to help more people in need by adding more?” and donated 100 million won. He also asked, “Please use it for the children of the underprivileged who are in difficult circumstances in Korea.”
The agency said, “It is a style that takes precedence in secret, so the company did not know about this personal donation.
Previously, Hong Jin-kyung and Monami showed off limited edition goods specially made for subscribers. All the essential study items that melted Jinkyung Hong’s actual episodes were dispatched to Monami’s products, and the goods were sold out in two weeks.
Chairman Lee Jae-won of the Hope Pebble said, “I sincerely thank Monami and the people involved in ‘Study King Jinjae’ who gave hope to the neighbors in the underprivileged through a warm project during a difficult time due to Corona 19.”
Meanwhile, Hong Jin-kyung has been quietly donating and sponsoring for over 10 years. Recently, an anecdote of how he helped a housekeeper in a difficult situation through ‘Study King’s Genius’ was released and drew attention.
At that time, the channel PD told Hong Jin-kyung, “Seniors always secretly donate.” “Last summer, my aunt (housemaid) called me. She told me that she received so much help from the senior and asked me to tell her on the show. He said, “I saved the money,” he said.
