Actor Jung Il-woo (39) has become an inspiration by consistently taking positive steps for over two decades.

Earlier on the 2nd, Jung Il-woo donated emergency relief funds through the international humanitarian NGO GoodNaver to support residents and children in areas devastated by floods in Nepal. The funds will be used entirely for emergency recovery in major flood-hit areas such as Nuwakot and Gorkha, and for supporting displaced persons.

At the time, Jung Il-woo conveyed his wish: "I hope this small contribution reaches those who have lost their homes due to sudden disasters, and I pray they regain peaceful daily lives as soon as possible." Through this donation, he was also added to 'The Naver Club,' a high-level donor group of GoodNaver.

According to his agency Galaxy Corporation on the 4th, Jung Il-woo's charitable efforts are the result of quiet dedication since his debut. In November 2008, he visited Baeksam Village (Plot No. 104) in Junggye-bon-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul, alongside the Bread Alliance Coal Bank, personally carrying 'coal of love' on a wheelbarrow to households in need among the underprivileged, bringing warmth to neighbors facing a harsh winter.

Later, in March 2012, while staying in New York, USA for a break, he secretly visited the Korean disabled group 'Mercy Corps,' spent time with disabled children, and quietly provided donation funds. In April 2014, during the Sewol Ferry tragedy, he donated 30 million won to Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association to express sincere condolences to grieving families and victims, even abruptly canceling his scheduled fan meeting.

His good deeds continued even during military service and national disaster situations. In June 2017, while serving as a social service officer in lieu of active duty, he donated 20 million won to the Seocho-gu Public Nursing Center where he was stationed, contributing to improvements in elderly welfare and treatment environments. Recognized for his exemplary service attitude, he also received an award from the Minister of Health and Welfare.

In April 2019, he delivered 20 million won to Hope Bridge for displaced persons affected by major forest fires in Goseong and Sokcho, Gangwon Province. In December 2024, while serving as a public relations ambassador for the Korean Red Cross, he donated all proceeds of 10 million won from a charity bazaar he personally organized as treatment costs for children with rare diseases ahead of Christmas. During the major forest fire disaster in March 2025, he also deposited 20 million won to the Korean Red Cross to help displaced victims return to their daily lives.

In particular, Jung Il-woo's compassion extended beyond borders to future generations across Asia. As a public relations ambassador for the Korean Red Cross, he visited Jakarta, Indonesia in January 2025, where he carried out educational volunteer activities and relief supply support for local underprivileged children alongside members of the Red Cross Youth (RCY). In February 2025, he successfully led health and hygiene improvement projects and youth cultural exchange volunteering with RCY in Vietnam, widely promoting humanitarian values to the world.

Meanwhile, Jung Il-woo recently announced a new leap by moving his base to Galaxy Corporation, where BIGBANG leader G-Dragon is also active.
