[NEWS] Fan clubs lead charity movement !

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Every day for the past month, Jeon Eun-joo, a 40-year-old housewife living in Ilsan, has sat in front of her computer after sending her child off to prep school.

With just a few clicks, she would log into a bank website to check how much money had been deposited into a fund-raising account opened by the "Miclub Jihoo-Hyunjoong-ari," one of many fan clubs dedicated to pop star Kim Hyun-joong.

The club recently donated 14,917,564 won ($13,221) to the Beautiful Foundation to establish a scholarship fund in Kim's name. Kim is the leader of boy band SS501, and also starred as one of the four "flower boys" in KBS hit drama "Boys Over Flowers" last year.

It was the first time for a fan club to set up such a fund under a celebrity's name. And it had been Jeon's idea all along.

An ardent fan of Kim since August 2008, Jeon wanted to do something different to share the happiness that she receives from her idol.

"Our motives were pure. We looked for ways to really connect with Kim," said Jeon, who had joined the club enamored with Kim's good-hearted image on "We Got Married," an MBC reality show. "As his fans, we tried to come up with ideas that could develop his belief in the power of sharing in continuous and practical ways."

"I'm proud and thankful that we were able to help the less fortunate in Kim's name," she said.

"Hwasueunhwa," a fan club of popular girl group Girls' Generation, is another that has raised large sums of money to help those in need.

"Over 52 million won has been distributed under the name of Girls' Generation in 2009 alone," said Lee Jang-won, an office worker in Seoul who is in charge of donations at Hwasueunhwa.


"Our donations in part began as a way to do away with the society's negative view toward grown men cheering for young female singers," Lee said. "But we now believe that by giving charity and helping the marginalized, we are giving the group members something special."

Hwasueunhwa's contributions take place year-round as the club makes donations on each birthday of the nine group members. "Our next donation is scheduled on April 18, Jessica's birthday," Lee said.

By making contributions in the name of their beloved stars, fan clubs are placing themselves at the forefront of a new philanthropy movement in Korea, where donations comprised a meager 0.16 percent of its gross domestic product in 2008, compared to 2.2 percent in the United States.

According to statistics released by the foundation in November, Korea's per-capita donations stood at 109,000 won in 2007, less than one-10th the figure for the United States in 2004.


"The Kim Hyun-joong scholarship was particularly significant in that 100 fans pledged to make periodic donations to the fund," said Kim Jin-ah, head of the resource development team at the Beautiful Foundation.

She said Koreans usually consider donations a one-time deal, noting that the culture of charity here still lags far behind other developed countries.

"People need to realize the true joy of giving. In this regard, I view the recent trend of celebrities and their fan clubs giving money for charity positively," she said.

Kang Tae-gyu, a culture critic, said that as celebrities are setting an example by making donations, their fans are getting on the bandwagon. "Fans are no longer passive in their roles. Their social participation has become much more active and positive in this aspect," he said.

In fact, many Korean celebrities have generously donated money for many purposes, earning themselves the title "donating angel."

While Kim Yu-na, the Olympic champion in figure skating, recently donated 100 million won toward relief efforts in Haiti, singer Kim Jang-hoon's accumulated donations have surpassed 8 billion won.
The trend is also creating ripples abroad. As "Hallyu" stretches its influence, overseas fan clubs of Korean stars are joining the movement. "Soshified.com," an international Girls' Generation fan club, recently donated $3,500 to Korea's National Red Cross for Haiti relief efforts in the name of Girls' Generation.

"As long as it is kept moderate, and their purpose appropriate, I believe that we ought to publicize the trend more often to help the charity culture to take root," Kang said.

[Interview] D-NA Interview with Star Today!



The newest 5 member idol group "Daeguknama" has come in to the celebrity world with a ticket of victory. The average age of 17.4 they have become to be a new idol group in Korea. The youngest member, Jay, has the same age as the U-kiss' member Dongho.

"It might be that they look at us with a cute concept because we are young. And we're also acting as the age we have because we think it is better than acting as we're older than now. We also think that our charms may be being pure and fresh. (Daeguknama)"

The name of the group "Daeguknama" is also "The Boss", that stands for "The Boys of Super Space". If we take a more meanful explication for the name, it means that they've the best influence on being the best artist.

The past 3rd they made their firts showcase on the Yoondang Art Hall, making their first and unique debut on three music programs making them a successful performances.

"At first, we were very nervous and we knew what kind of mistakes we were going to make, now we think that we've got self-confidence and we feel comfortable with all. The thing people say to us after watching us on stage was that our personalities changed a lot up there."

Hyunmin said "My mind was refreshed. There were a lot of school friends and members of my family supporting me, and i think that was the only one recompense i was waiting after debuting" when showing his real feelings full of emotion.

Jay also said "When i saw the stage on the TV i thought that it was going to big!, but when i was standing there it wasn't as it seems to be" making it an episode of laughs.

Daeguknama recieved an attack from their antifans after the showcase. Leader Mika said "We said that we admire DongBangShinKi and we want to be like them, and after we said it there were a lot of reports, news and rumors about it on the internet, that's why we get a lot of messages of mad fans. Of course we have interest on being like them, but it doesn't mean that we're going to compare us with DBSK" as a random topic when doing the interview.

Even after debuting, their homepage had more than 40,000 registration of their fans. And they noticed that there were also a lot of foreigner fans. Many of the existing idol groups go for the performance or the choreography, but these boys concentrate on the harmony and the vocals. That doesn't mean that they don't pay attention to their choreographies, though.

Mika said "The voice of every member has personality and they are also unic. We are a Harmonist Band. What I mean with 'Harmonist' is that everyone of us has its only one and celestial harmony" showing the confidence that they have.

Injoon agreed "We're a group that intends dance, but I think that we're a little bit more concentrated on the vocalism and singing" and continued with "The point of a singer is his way to sing, we want to be a group that would sing live without any problems to deal with."

"In one word, we want to be a group that can sing and dance without problems on the stage" added Hyunmin explaning their goal.

All the members have a strong karma, earlier talents and that's what caught the attention of a lot of people. Mika and Hyunmin won the Seoul's Creation Music Festival's Gold Prize in 2007. Injoon and Karam have become famous because they have been attending lots of competitions. Jay was introduced to the citizens since he went in to the SBS's Star King. He was introduced then as the Poppin Prodigy, and occupied the 'The End of the Year's Prince to Prince'.

Their debut track is "Admiring Boy" and it shows all the charms and the strong vocals of these boys. The lyrics go by a boy that admires a girl that makes the voice of every member go sweetly with all the song. Saying it again, all of them have very special vocals, too receptive steps that make the melody become to be like some kind of pleased rhythm making a very nice mix.

"We have a desire to come with a very strong image, but now we think that this shine concept goes perfect with us. These days there are a lot of good and very nice songs so it will be a differentiation with us and other groups. And also, we're thinking about that our next album will come with a 180 degrees of changes."

There are 3 members that lived together even before they debuted, and they are the 3 members that are not from Seoul. Mika and Karam are from Daegu, and Hyunmin is from Pohang. There's no idol group that doesn't have at least one member from another province in the country.

"We're a pure-coming Korean Group" said them adding "That's why when we go to a restaurant we eat only korean food" at some nonsense talk second.

"I lived in other province so there are a lot of topics to talk about" did Hyunmin said, and also "I think i'll have a lot of funny stories to tell if i have the opportunity to go to Kang Shim Jang (Variety Program)."

They clean and wash their clothes themeselves, and they also solve the problems with the food. They also study foreign languages. If there's any opportunity to go to another country they want to be prepared. Their company told them study Chinese and Japanese, but not too fast, giving them their own time to do it. But after all, all of them just want to be 1st in Korea before any other country.

"We want to be watched as the korean dongsaeng group. And we also dream about winning this year's Newcomer Group."
