On the occasion of singer Lim Young-woong's 36th birthday (June 16), Sue Taylor, a fan residing in the United States, donated $2,000 to Seungil Hope Foundation, a domestic support organization for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Ms. Taylor is known to be suffering not only from symptoms of ALS but also from rheumatoid arthritis, glaucoma, and tinnitus, and has been repeatedly hospitalized and discharged due to recent health deterioration. She has been overcoming pain and loneliness by listening to Lim Young-woong's songs, singing along, and recording the process.

Ms. Taylor has expressed her gratitude, saying, "I have gained strength thanks to Lim Young-woong's songs, and I am enjoying a life of 'living as a bonus' with the energy Lim Young-woong gave me."

The connection between the two dates back to 2022. In an interview with a media outlet in 2025, Ms. Taylor stated, "Listening to songs sung by Lim Young-woong gives me a feeling of my soul becoming clear." She added, "I was deeply impressed by Lim Young-woong's consistent practice of loving his neighbors and his steady acts of giving, and I also wanted to be of some help. Although it is not a large amount, I participated in the donation in Lim Young-woong's name with all my heart."

Ms. Taylor has been donating between $1,000 and $2,000 on every anniversary, such as Lim Young-woong's birthday and debut day, since 2022, and the cumulative donation amount to date has reached over $32,000.

In response to news of Ms. Sue Taylor spreading love worldwide by following Lim Young-woong's positive influence, fans in Korea and abroad, known as 'Young-hoosik,' also conveyed, "We deeply respect your act of caring for others' suffering (ALS patients) while you are in pain," and added, "We sincerely pray and support that you never lose your bright and radiant smile and that you recover your health as soon as possible."
