Actor and singer Yang Dong Geun (or YDG) donated 10 million won to aid victims of the earthquakes in Turkey. 

On February 8, Yang Dong Geun made a surprise visit to the Turkish Embassy in Korea and met with the Turkish Ambassador Murat Tamer, Commercial Counsellor Münir Oğuz, and Commercial Counsellor Ayşe Tekin to offer his condolences on the disaster caused by the earthquake in Turkey, and donated relief money to be used for the affected people of Turkey.

The Turkish embassy said, “Many Koreans are contacting us saying they want to help. I am so grateful and grateful to Mr. Yang Dong Geun for helping us like this. We realize that we are a brother country. I feel that heart. Thank you for reaching out first.”

Yang Dong Geun said, “I was so heartbroken to see the photo with the article of the father in Turkey holding the hand of a deceased baby. I also once had a daughter almost die, but she miraculously survived. The pain at the time was indescribable. With the same fatherly heart, I convey my deep condolences to the victims in Turkey.”
