DBSK’s youngest, 21-year old ‘Choikang/Max’ Changmin is participating in Lotte’s ‘The 4th’s Stars’ Most Treasured Campaign’ event that auctions off stars’ treasured used goods on the Lotte website in an effort to raise money for From Care, a Korean animal protection association which aids in giving proper food to neglected animals.
This event is the second official auction in a four-part series, the first of which ended on October 15th. Alongside Changmin, other notable stars Super Junior’s Leeteuk, Rain, Wonder Girls‘ Sunye and Yoobin, Yoon Eun-hye, T-ara, 2PM’s Nichkhun, and Lee Junki have also put up items for auction.
Changmin’s Japanese practice book, entitled “Minna No Nihonggo Shokyu” has reached the top auction position with a current price of 1,464,600 won–around $1250USD. Coming next in line is Lee Junki’s pants, at 800,800 won, or around$680USD.
It is said that the Japanese book also contains traces of Changmin’s handwriting. His signature also appears to grace the cover.
Alongside the auction, Lotte is also simultaneously conducting the ‘Thermometer of Love’ event, in which every 50 ‘love messages’ written will save 1 bag of animal food. At this time, over 156,000 netizens participated in the event, which has thus provided for 313 bags of animal food.
It’s pretty much unnecessary to note on the utter craziness that is spending over a thousand dollars on an old Japanese workbook, but when charity comes into question, you can’t really say anything. Nevertheless, it’s nice to see all these stars coming together for a good cause–and the fans that will go to the greatest heights to support these causes (or their insatiable fangirling habits; take your pick.)
This round of auctions will be ending tomorrow. The subsequent round of auctions will commence on the 23rd.
