On September 9, the Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Kim Byung-joon) announced that the group RIIZE and their official fan club BRIIZE donated a total of 104,046,577 KRW to mark RIIZE’s second debut anniversary.
To celebrate the milestone and express gratitude to their fans, RIIZE donated 100,000,000 KRW in the name of their fan club BRIIZE. Inspired by this, BRIIZE also raised 4,046,577 KRW through an online QR donation campaign, bringing the total contribution delivered to the Community Chest of Korea to 104,046,577 KRW.
The online QR campaign ran for four days, from September 4 to 7, through a limited-time QR code provided on the Community Chest of Korea’s website. Since anyone could easily participate by scanning the code, it drew considerable interest.
The funds raised will be used to cover medical expenses for children from low-income families. Beneficiaries include children in need of treatment for childhood cancer, rare diseases, or cochlear implant surgeries, with the aim of easing financial burdens and supporting their healthy growth.
Since their debut in 2023, RIIZE has consistently practiced sharing in various forms to support the dreams and hopes of underprivileged youth. This donation, made together with BRIIZE, once again demonstrated their positive influence.
Lee Sung-do, Head of Fundraising at the Community Chest of Korea, stated, “This fundraising campaign by RIIZE and BRIIZE is a great example of a giving culture created by artists and fans together. The Community Chest of Korea will continue to expand diverse donation programs that more people can participate in.”
Meanwhile, the Community Chest of Korea also operates various donation programs where both artists and fandoms can participate together, including the “Sharing Leaders Club,” which allows artists and fan clubs involved in QR donation campaigns to join.
