Chovy, the mid-laner of esports League of Legends (LoL) team Gen.G, Jung Ji-hoon (25), has joined efforts to support disaster victims in southern regions severely affected by record-breaking heavy rainfall.

Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association announced on the 18th that "pro gamer Chovy donated 30 million won to help flood-affected neighbors in Geoje, Gyeongnam Province and other areas."

Record-breaking downpours have been pouring over the southern coastal region since the 15th. According to NEWS1, cumulative rainfall recorded by the morning of the 18th reached 944mm in Geoje, 765.7mm in Tongyeong, 496mm in Haklim, Goseong, 474.5mm in Seongu-dong, Sacheon, and 411.5mm in Sangju, Namhae.

Notably, Geoje received a water bomb of 124.5mm per hour the previous day, while Tongyeong recorded 97.4mm per hour, setting new records for the highest one-hour rainfall since observations began in both areas. Casualties also occurred. Early on the 17th, a landslide struck near an apartment complex in Okpo-dong, Geoje City, killing a man in his 20s who was sleeping on the first floor and injuring two women in their 50s.

Chovy's participation in disaster relief is not his first time. Following his donation last July to support vulnerable groups during the summer heatwave, he immediately stepped forward to donate after learning about neighbors who lost their homes due to heavy rainfall. Chovy, who has maintained consistent donation activities, also serves as a member of Hope Bridge's high-donor group, "Hope Bridge Honor Club."

Chovy stated, "I offer my condolences to the disaster victims who are suffering through difficult times after being severely affected by sudden heavy rains and landslides," and added, "I hope reconstruction in the affected areas proceeds quickly so that everyone can return to their daily lives as soon as possible."

Chovy is one of the top LoL pro gamers. Debuting professionally in 2018, he has demonstrated elite skills as a mid-laner and played as a starter for the South Korean national team at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, contributing to the gold medal victory. Chovy also participated in the final match, taking responsibility for Korea's championship win.

He continues his strong performance this year. Gen.G, the team Chovy belongs to, achieved a perfect season victory by defeating BNK Phirax 3-0 in the March 2026 LCK Cup finals.

Meanwhile, contributions to help flood-affected neighbors can be made through Hope Bridge's official website, Naver Happy Bean, and Kakao Together Value.
