I really... dont get the mentality of people who downvote such articles or shit talk him for donating. OPs made the most detailed compilation of all his contributions to the virus (and other current issues) before and after April. Think what you want, but Jaejoongs helping people in need and hes doing great deeds. And as his record through the years show, hes always been charitable, especially in secret. Even if this is done to redeem himself, idk a better way to redeem than to actually help people in need.
