The generous contribution was announced on July 19, highlighting the actress and singer's ongoing philanthropic efforts during natural disasters.

Celebrity Philanthropy Continues Flood Relief Support

The donation represents Kim Se-jeong's latest charitable act as a member of the prestigious Hope Bridge Honors Club, a recognition program for high-value donors who consistently support disaster relief initiatives. Kim Se-jeong has previously donated to various humanitarian causes, including contributing 40 million won to earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria, and 20 million won during the 2022 South Korean floods. Her cumulative donations through Hope Bridge have now reached an impressive 120 million won, showcasing sustained commitment to community welfare.

In a statement accompanying her donation, Kim Se-jeong expressed her empathy for flood victims, saying, "I thought the victims must be having a hard time, so I helped them even a little. I hope there will be no more major damage." Her words reflect the genuine concern that has driven her consistent participation in disaster relief fundraising efforts across Korea and internationally.

Hope Bridge Korea Recognizes Celebrity Donor Impact

Secretary General Shin Hoon of Hope Bridge Korea praised the K-pop star's generosity, stating, "We are deeply grateful for Kim Se-jeong's warm sharing for the flood victims. Hope Bridge will do its best to ensure that her heart is well conveyed to the victims." The organization has received multiple celebrity donations recently, with entertainers like Yoo Jae Suk and Im Si Wan also contributing to flood relief efforts on July 18, 2025.

Kim Se-jeong's flood relief donation joins a growing trend of celebrity disaster relief contributions that have gained significant attention across social media platforms. Recent high-profile charitable efforts include Beyoncé's $2.5 million pledge for California wildfire victims and various celebrities mobilizing resources for disaster relief. These celebrity donations often inspire public participation in charitable giving and raise awareness about ongoing humanitarian crises.

The actress and former I.O.I member continues to balance her entertainment career with meaningful social contributions. Her consistent support for disaster relief organizations demonstrates how celebrity influence can be leveraged effectively for humanitarian purposes, particularly during natural disasters that require immediate financial assistance and public attention.
