Pengsoo Fan Club Donates to Support Fire-Affected Children

On April 4, 2025, the child welfare organization 초록우산 (Green Umbrella) announced that the fan club of EBS's popular character, Pengsoo, known as 펭클럽 (Peng Club), has donated 16.3 million won to aid children and families affected by recent wildfires. Following the outbreak of large-scale wildfires, 초록우산 has been actively supporting the recovery of affected families through its own resources and additional donations. The funds from Pengsoo and the Peng Club will be used to provide essential items, food, and clothing to children in orphanages and families who lost their homes due to the fires. Celebrating its sixth anniversary this year, Pengsoo and the Peng Club have consistently engaged in charitable activities during national crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and previous wildfires in Gangwon and Gyeongbuk. A representative from the Peng Club expressed their desire to convey heartfelt love to children suffering from the sudden disaster, echoing Pengsoo's message of 'Instead of saying 'stay strong,' say 'I love you.' They hope that the joy received from Pengsoo can be transformed into support for the children's pain. 황영기 (Hwang Young-ki), the president of 초록우산, expressed gratitude to Pengsoo and the Peng Club for their generous contribution, emphasizing that children are always the most affected during disasters and crises. He assured that 초록우산 will do its utmost to help the daily recovery of the affected children and families.
