As expected of Yoo Jae Suk!
The Table Community Welfare Foundation x Coal Briquette Bank revealed on March 9 that comedian and beloved TV personality Yoo Jae Suk has recently paid for 100,000 coal briquettes worth up to 50 million KRW (~ 42,000 USD)! This is pretty impressive considering he had donated only three months ago. Back in November, he had generously supplied 80,000 coal briquettes worth up to 40 million KRW (~ 33,000 USD). Even before that, he had donated on multiple occasions, becoming well known as one of the most generous celebrities out there.

The Coal Briquette Bank stated, "The backing for Love's Briquettes is concentrated at the end of the year, and then in February and March of the new year, support drops sharply so that the Coal Briquette Bank finds itself in a barley hump and, in this state, it is very difficult to provide Love's Briquettes support to families in hardship and the poor elderly. Knowing this situation, Yoo Jae Suk supported Love's Briquettes not only in November last year but also in February, 2016. This is becoming a very precious present of love to those families without energy who are having a hard time in the last cold snap."
A rep from the bank also told My Daily in a phone call, "Even this time, Yoo Jae Suk gave support without giving us separate notice. To the point that our manager asked, 'Was this really sent by Yoo Jae Suk?' and confirmed it himself." Not only did he do a good deed but he also did it in private without making a big display! Such an angel.
