T-ara contributes a donation for the defense of Yeonpyeong Island

Posted by sayykimchi2 pts Friday, November 26, 2010

In response to the shocking artillery exchange between North and South Korea, T-ara made a voluntary donation of approximately 20,000 dollars for the defense of Yeonpyeong Island. The T-ara members explained their reason for the donation in the following message:
"After hearing the news about the sinking of the Cheonan ship that occurred earlier this year, as well as the recent Yeonpyeong Island skirmish, our hearts ached for the soldiers and innocent civilians who have unjustly lost their lives. It angers us that North Korea seems to see our country as an easy target. "When we were younger, our parents have told us that they gathered gold and donated it to the South Korean government in order to support their country. Our donation may not seem much, but all of us South Koreans believe that we need to strengthen our country's national power. We donated because we think that our small contribution will serve as some help."
T-ara's management, Core Contents Media, later added, "T-ara was planning to send their donation on the 26th, but they found out that there was no such organization available at this time to accept the donation. They will donate the amount when they've found an organization." Source + Photo: Nate
