Domestic and overseas fans of TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho (Jung Yunho) have donated a large amount of rice wreaths.
TVXQ’s fans donated Dreami rice wreaths to be showcased at the ‘Queen of Ambition’ press conference to support U-Know Yunho’s role in the SBS drama.
The rice wreaths came from fandoms in thirteen different countries that included China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, USA, Russia, Peru, Spain and Kuwait, as well as international fanclubs, bring the total to 19.622 tons of rice and 500 packs of ramen.
The 19.622 tons of rice were composed of rice wreaths that ranged from 2.6 tons to 20kg at an average of 175kg per rice wreath and this equates to one thousand 20kg Dreami rice wreaths. The international support for U-Know Yunho’s role in ‘Queen of Ambition’ resulted in such a large amount of rice wreaths that they had to be transported from the night before and there wasn’t enough room for all the wreaths in the press conference hall.
19.622 tons of rice can feed 160,000 people one meal and will be donated to foundations for people in need that are chosen by U-Know Yunho. The international fans of TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho have previously sent 3.83 tons of rice wreaths for the singer’s participation in the musical ‘Palace/Goong’ in September, 2010 and set the mark for future rice wreath donations to support musical actors.
The rice wreaths that were donated to U-Know Yunho’s musical were donated, at the request of U-Know Yunho and his fans, to Gwangju’s Shinaewon, Hwaengsung’s Songdeoksa, the Salvation Army, Gwangju’s foundation for severely disabled people and the Saenal School.
Fans also sent 700kg of rice wreaths (2 tons of Korean rice) to support U-Know Yunho’s role in ‘Gwanghwamun Love Song’ last November in Osaka and on the 1st of this month in Tokyo.
