Summer in Korea is definitely hard to bear without air conditioning, and comedian Yoo Byung Jae donated a large sum of money to make sure the elderly can stay cool.

It was revealed that the comedian donated 10 million KRW (~8475 USD) to an NGO organization in order to ensure that low-income elderly people don't pass out from heat-stroke. He stated that he was worried about the elderly who lived in temporary housing as the weather suddenly got hotter. 

Yoo Byung Jae is known for his kind acts and has donated large sums of money to help comfort women and underprivileged children.

I'm happy that he donated money so they can get AC units. These past few summers have been really hot all across the world. I was confused on why that amount seemed kinda small in USD but i literally searched how much an AC unit is in SK and realized that they only cost 5000 - 20000 KRW
