The official fan club Again, a community supporting Song Ga-in who hails from Jindo, made the gesture even more meaningful by visiting Jindo during the Myeongnyang Victory Festival to enjoy the performance together and participate in hometown love donations.


This donation, in particular, goes beyond standard fan activities, as members voluntarily came together to deliver warm support to Jindo, the hometown of the singer they admire.


The county expects that these funds will be used as resources to improve the welfare of local residents, drive regional development, and nurture the next generation.


Lee Jaegak, Mayor of Jindo County, said, "I sincerely thank the members of Song Ga-in's official fan club Again for visiting Jindo during the Myeongnyang Victory Festival and putting warm-hearted sharing into action. The precious donations will be used transparently and responsibly as resources to promote the happiness of our citizens, regional development, and to foster the dreams of future generations."


Meanwhile, leading up to the Chuseok holiday, the county is running the "Donate Hometown Love, Give Abalone to Your Parents" event to encourage more participation in the Hometown Love Donation Program and to promote local agricultural and marine products.



Until September 17, among those who donate 100,000 won or more to Jindo County, 50 participants will be randomly selected to receive additional Jindo abalone worth about 30,000 won.

Winners will be able to specify the address of their parents, relatives, or acquaintances, and Jindo County plans to deliver the abalone before Chuseok to share the hometown spirit.
