aespa member Ningning demonstrated positive influence by helping elderly people living alone in Seoul overcome extreme heat.

The Red Cross Society of Korea Seoul Branch announced on the 15th that it will launch the 'Extreme Heat Relief Support Project' to help vulnerable elderly residents under its jurisdiction spend a safe summer, thanks to Ningning's donation.

It further stated that the project, funded by a donation of 20 million won from aespa's Ningning for the purpose of supporting vulnerable elderly groups such as those living alone, will proceed with a total scale of over 27 million won.

This initiative was established to prevent heat-related illnesses and protect the health of marginalized groups exposed without protection to consecutive days of extreme heat and tropical nights. The support is scheduled to be delivered to 600 households selected through the Seoul Branch's 'Gaga-ho-ho Warmth Sharing' program for those at risk of dying alone.

The relief items consist of 'Neck Coolers' to effectively lower body temperature and three types of 'Retort Health Foods (Samgyetang, Galbi-tang, Dogani-tang)' to help restore strength during the summer season.

The Red Cross Society of Korea Seoul Branch explained that "to minimize heatwave damage and provide swift relief, items will be delivered in two batches this month." It added, "In particular, this project goes beyond simply shipping items via courier; it will proceed in a 'close-contact care' format where Red Cross volunteers familiar with local community conditions visit each household directly."

Volunteers deliver the items to the elderly, check their living environments and health status, and provide guidance on safety measures during heatwaves.

Park Myeong-sook, Chair of the Seoul Council of the Volunteers Association, said, "We deeply thank Ningning for readily extending a helping hand." She added, "Together with Red Cross volunteers, we will carefully monitor and ensure that the donor's heartfelt intention is fully conveyed to those in need."

Earlier this May, Ningning had already donated 20 million won to the Red Cross Society through a drinking game challenge on the YouTube web variety show 'Nothing Was Served', alongside host Lee Young-ji. Despite winning the bet, Ningning voluntarily donated the same amount, taking the lead in a heartwarming act of kindness.
