Building upon his charitable efforts from last year, Kim Seon Ho decided to allocate the proceeds from his 2023 Asia Tour fan meeting through a fan club vote to aid young people preparing for independence.

The Korean Red Cross utilized the 100 million won donated last year to assist 146 individuals with various needs, including daily necessities, educational resources, medical expenses, and improvements to their living environments.
