Lim Young-woong's Fandom Brightens Disabled Football with Consistent Support

Singer Lim Young-woong's fans are setting a heartwarming example by actively supporting disabled football, demonstrating a new dimension of fandom culture.

As the year draws to a close, Lim Young-woong's fan clubs are making consistent donations to disabled football, emphasizing sustained action over one-off contributions.

On December 15th, the Busan chapter of his fan club, 'Busan Hero Era Nam-su-hae,' donated 5 million KRW to FC Ottugi, a cerebral palsy football team based in Busan. These funds will be used to improve the players' training environment, including expenses for training camps and equipment.

FC Ottugi is a team dedicated to players with cerebral palsy, striving to pursue their dreams despite challenging conditions. 'Busan Hero Era Nam-su-hae' has been a consistent supporter since 2021, becoming the first 'Good Fan Club' recognized by Busan Love Fruit and the 11th member of the 'Sharing Leaders Club,' with cumulative donations reaching approximately 80 million KRW.

Yeon-du, the leader of 'Busan Hero Era Nam-su-hae,' expressed pride, stating, "As Lim Young-woong's fan club, we are always proud to be able to help society and practice donation." Another member added, "We hope this donation brings hope to someone to dream again and courage to move forward tomorrow."

This wave of generosity has also reached Chungbuk province. 'Hero Era Chungbuk' recently donated 3 million KRW to the Chungbuk Disabled Football Association, supporting training programs for disabled athletes.

'Hero Era Chungbuk' emphasized their intent: "Although it starts with a small gesture, we hope disabled athletes can pursue their dreams in a better environment." They pledged to continue engaging in sharing activities with the local community.

The Chungbuk Disabled Football Association expressed gratitude, stating, "The donated funds will be preciously used to improve training conditions and enhance our training camps."

Disabled football, an area often overlooked despite its achievements, is now being illuminated by the actions of Lim Young-woong's fans, who are providing support and solidarity where attention has been scarce.

Netizens praised the fans' actions, commenting, "Lim Young-woong's influence is amazing," "The singer and the fans have beautiful hearts," and "Consistent donations are truly respectable."
