The YouTube channel 'Sik University' has contributed in-kind donations to Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, which is in trouble due to flooding.

A channel run by comedians Jeong Jae-hyung, Kim Min-soo, and Lee Yong-joo delivered goods worth 50 million won to the Yeongyang-gun Office after hearing the recent torrential rain in Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. After hearing the specific damage status from the Yeongyang-gun Office, they donated refrigerators, washing machines, fans, rice cookers, and televisions, which are urgently needed by families suffering from flood damage, as daily necessities.

'Sik University' conveyed its intention with a donation in the hope that it would be a little helpful to the Yeongyang residents who must have been discouraged by the sudden downpour.



Accordingly, the Yeongyang-gun Office said "Currently, cash deposit is not possible, so thank you very much for adding to the donation of goods. Once again, we deeply appreciate your concern and concern for this damage," he said. 'Sik University' is currently continuously communicating with Yeongyang-gun and sincerely cooperating with each other.

Previously, Lee Yong-joo, Kim Min-soo, and Jung Jae-hyung of 'Sik University' were embroiled in controversy over their regional disparaging remarks in 'Made in Gyeongsang-do'. At the time, through the YouTube channel community, they expressed their displeasure and disappointment to many people who watched us as a comedy channel, enjoyed watching us, and supported us"I'll take this opportunity to look back on the social role of comedians"I published a lengthy apology.



Meanwhile, 'Smiling University' posted a video of 'Smiling Show' featuring pop star Anderson Pack as a guest on the 9th and resumed its activities after about two months.
