Posted by ramham4242 pts Sunday, February 20, 2011

John Park's fans have been gathering a lot of attention for making a sizable donation to a charity. Fans from the DC Inside John Park Gallery have recently built a library for the disabled in Seoul, called the 'Hope Gallery'. They donated 2657 books, 136 CDs, 113 DVDs as well as school supplies and daily necessities. They also personally donated approximately $6200 USD to the library for future use. The generous fans made it so that the disabled would be able to enjoy their cultural lives, and so they installed a home theater, a refrigerator, a piano, and computers. 'Hope House' expressed their thanks to John Park's fans by hostng a opening ceremony for the newly-built library, and gave them plaques to honor their charitable work. A representative from the house said, "It has been 29 years since 'Hope House' has been established, but we haven't been able to develop a space for the enjoyment of the disabled. We would like to express our deepest words of thanks for making such a happy place for our disabled family. Not only did we receive a library, but we received hope and courage as well. We have also received cards from Japan and calls from the U.S. We are really touched by John Park's fans' generous hearts". At this generous act by the fans, netizens commented, "Both John Park and the fans are heartwarming", "This is so much better than giving celebrities expensive gifts. It's more meaningful".
