Non-Profit group Siheung 1% Fund extends their gratitude to EXO member Chen after the singer-actor donated a sum of 20,000,000 KRW ($17,767 USD) to their fund.
In their released statement, the organization expressed their sincere appreciation for Chen’s generosity in the midst of crisis. Furthermore, they promised to share the idol’s donation to the people of Siheung, a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.
"We appreciate how he donated such a large amount even during the nation's dire economic situation. We will share the donation with people in need at Siheung," the group stated as quoted by All Kpop.
Siheung 1% Fund was established to help and provide hope to the residents of Siheung. They also encourage people to donate even in their own simple way.
Meanwhile, Chen’s talent management agency SM Entertainment has recently released the star’s collaboration song titled “Years” with Swedish DJ and record producer Alessandro Lindblad, commonly known as Alesso. In the polychromatic lyric video published on October 6, Chen’s voice perfectly fitted the song’s cool and upbeat music, All Kpop reports.
Born as Kim Jong Dae, Chen started his entertainment career in 2012 after joining the all-boy group EXO alongside Xiumin, Suho, Lay, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, Sehun, Luhan, Kris, and Tao. He serves as one of the band’s main vocalists.
Aside from his affiliation with EXO, Chen also entered the world of acting. In 2015, he made his theater debut after portraying the role of Benny in the Korean adaptation of the renowned musical play “In the Heights”.
