Actors Jo In Sung, Han Ji Min, Chun Woo Hee, and writer Noh Hee Kyung once again participated in the “Coal Briquette Sharing Volunteer Activity” this year.
On December 7th KST, the volunteer organization 'Gilbeot' and the international relief organization 'Korea JTS' held a coal briquette support event for residents of Guryong Village in Seoul’s Gangnam district, who face challenges with winter heating.
Writer Noh Hee Kyung, along with actors Jo In Sung, Han Ji Min, Chun Woo Hee, Kim Byung Ok, Lee Sang Hee, Jo Hye Jung, and Baek Seung Do, joined 145 volunteers to deliver coal briquettes by hand. They donated and distributed a total of 3,600 briquettes to 15 households.
The celebrities who participated shared their thoughts: “We hope this small gesture helps you enjoy a warm and cozy winter.”
Writer Noh Hee Kyung remarked, “I’m grateful we could come together to offer support. I especially loved that this was about delivering warmth through coal briquettes. I won’t forget the feelings I had today.” She also expressed her intention to continue this tradition every year.
The year-end coal briquette sharing by Gilbeot started in 2021 and marks its fourth year this year. Additionally, since 2004, Gilbeot has conducted an annual Children’s Day JTS street fundraising campaign in Myeongdong, providing consistent support for starving children around the world.
