RESCENE's Fandom Donates ₩112 Million to Help Woni's Flood-Hit Hometown

RESCENE's official fandom, REMINE, pulled together 112 million KRW (roughly $82,000 USD) for disaster relief in the hometown of member Woni, channeling fan fundraising into one of the more substantial charity moves K-pop fandoms have made this year.

The donation was directed toward recovery efforts in the region where Woni grew up, which was hit by natural disaster damage. REMINE framed the drive explicitly as sharing in Woni's personal pain, not just a general charity effort.

What the fandom said

In a statement accompanying the donation, REMINE said the fan club wanted to stand beside Woni during a difficult time and to help the community he comes from. The phrasing was personal and deliberate: this wasn't a generic anniversary project or a milestone donation, it was tied directly to a place and a person.

That kind of specificity matters. K-pop fan clubs run charity campaigns constantly, but campaigns anchored to a member's actual hometown and an ongoing disaster tend to land differently, both for the group's image and for the communities receiving the funds.

The number does the talking

112 million KRW is not a small figure for a fan-organized effort. It puts REMINE in the company of fandoms that treat charity drives as a serious organizational exercise rather than a social media gesture. The logistics of pooling that kind of money, verifying donations, and directing funds to a specific relief effort require real coordination.

RESCENE has been building a dedicated following, and moves like this one signal that the fandom is maturing alongside the group. Whether Woni has responded publicly was not immediately available, but the timing suggests REMINE wasn't waiting around for a cue.
