South Korean artist Hyeri has donated 200,000 Hong Kong dollars—approximately 38 million KRW (about 28,500 USD)—to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association to support recovery efforts following the devastating high-rise fire in Hong Kong. The organization officially announced the donation on November 28.
A representative from Hyeri’s agency stated that she deeply mourns the firefighters and civilians who lost their lives in the tragedy. Hyeri made the donation hoping it could provide even a small measure of comfort and support to the bereaved families coping with sudden and overwhelming loss.
Shin Hoon, Secretary General of Hope Bridge, expressed sincere gratitude for Hyeri’s heartfelt contribution and emphasized that the donation will be used effectively for recovery work and assistance programs for the affected families.
Founded in 1961 by national media outlets and civic groups, Hope Bridge is a specialized disaster-relief fundraising institution in Korea. Its work spans emergency aid, monetary support, protection for disaster-vulnerable groups, and community recovery, alongside efforts in disaster prevention and the promotion of a safety-conscious culture to help build a more resilient society.
