 Kids Donate KRW 50 Million to the Korean Red Cross
The group (G)I-dle apologized for the controversy with a greater good deed.

According to the Korean Red Cross on the 29th, (G)I-DLE Mi-mini Soyeon Yuqi Shuhua donated a total of 50 million won, 10 million won each, to support flood recovery.

"(Girl)I hope that through the Red Cross humanitarian activities that save lives, the broken Su Jae-min will be consoled and returned to his daily life as soon as possible," the children said.

Kim Cheol-soo, chairman of the Korean Red Cross, said "(Girls) children's support will be a warm comfort and great help to the victims in the affected areas. The Korean Red Cross, the legal disaster management agency and relief aid agency, will do its best to restore flood damage."

(G)I-DLE performed a new song in a life guard (rescue) concept costume with the Red Cross mark on KBS2 'Music Bank', which aired on the 19th, and was embroiled in a controversy over the unauthorized use of the Red Cross mark on the costume.

The Korean Red Cross Organization Act states that anyone who is not authorized by the Red Cross, military medical institutions or the Red Cross should not use a red Greek cross on a white background for business or propaganda purposes, and violations can result in fines of up to 10 million won.

In response, the Red Cross explained that it did not seem intentional or habitual, so we did not intend to proceed with additional fines or fines, and contacted the agency to request a plan to prevent recurrence.

The (girl) children are actively discussing prevention of recurrence and follow-up measures. We apologize to those involved in the inconvenience.

Netizens are also making apologies for (girls) children's actions, which quickly admitted their mistakes and apologized, and continued to do even greater good deeds' He did not spare praise, saying, `Honestly, there would have been more people who didn't know, but it's warm.'

(G)I-DLE released their 7th mini album 'ISWAY' on the 8th and performed as the title song 'Clarkion'. They will hold their third world tour 'Idol' at KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul on August 3-4.
