Lee Chan-won Mom Fan Club Donates Scholarships to Yeungnam University for Seventh Straight Year

【Financial News Daegu = Reporter Kim Jang-wook】The positive influence of alumnus Lee Chan-won, combined with the fan club’s warmth, is drawing attention as it leads to scholarship support for younger students.
The “Lee Chan-won Mom Fan Club,” which supports singer Lee Chan-won, a Yeungnam University alumnus, visited the university and donated 10 million won to its development fund.
According to Yeungnam University, 13 fan club members, including chair Oh Joon, and 11 recipients of Lee Chan-won scholarships attended a development fund donation ceremony held at the university on October 30. The event included both the donation ceremony and a presentation of scholarship certificates.
That day, the Lee Chan-won Mom Fan Club met with Yeungnam University President Choi Oe-chul and handed over 10 million won, asking that it be used for students. With this contribution, the development funds the club has donated to the university total about 95 million won.
President Choi said, “I extend my heartfelt thanks to the members of the Lee Chan-won Mom Fan Club, who return to Yeungnam University every year without fail to give us this valuable scholarship fund. The example set by alumnus Lee Chan-won and his fan club, who put the values of sharing and solidarity into practice and bring positive change to our society, aligns with Yeungnam University’s educational vision of nurturing talent that contributes to the shared prosperity of human society.”
He stressed, “We will use this scholarship, which embodies such a meaningful intention, with care to help realize the university’s vision, support students’ growth, and nurture future talent.”
Since first donating a development fund to Yeungnam University in 2020, after agreeing to prepare a meaningful gift to mark Lee Chan-won’s birthday, the Lee Chan-won Mom Fan Club has visited the university and donated scholarships every year for seven consecutive years.
The fund, raised through contributions from fan club members, is managed by Yeungnam University as the “Lee Chan-won Scholarship Fund” and used to provide scholarships supporting students’ studies.
Oh Joon, chair of the Lee Chan-won Mom Fan Club, said, “For the seventh year running, members and I have raised scholarship funds every year to turn our support for singer Lee Chan-won into a more meaningful act of sharing. We will continue working to provide Yeungnam University students with ongoing encouragement and support, motivated by our support for the positive influence Lee Chan-won has.”
Meanwhile, Yeungnam University selects scholarship recipients and awards scholarships every year using the Lee Chan-won Scholarship Fund. Following the donation ceremony that day, a presentation was also held for the 11 students selected this year to receive Lee Chan-won scholarships. It was a meaningful occasion that affirmed the fan club members’ generosity is translating into students’ growth and efforts to take on new challenges.
