Actor Park Bo-gum’s fans donate solar lamps to Africa

August 22, 2016

SEOUL, Aug. 22 (Yonhap) — A fan club of South Korean actor Park Bo-gum made a donation to Africa under the actor’s name as an act of goodwill as well as support for the actor’s upcoming period drama.

The fan club Bogum Ilbo said Monday that it has donated solar lamps to electricity-scarce African countries through Christian relief organization Worldshare.

Solar lamps are known to be very useful on the continent that suffers from chronic electricity shortage.

Earlier this year, the club, consisting of the actor’s fans aged over 30, also built a well in Cambodia and donated desks and chairs to China.

Park became widely popular with the success of tvN’s “Reply 1988″ which ended in January. His new show “Love in the Moonlight” is set to premier tonight.
