YouTuber Free Zia (real name Song Jia) participated in a fundraiser for residents affected by forest fires in Gangwon-do and Gyeongbuk. After the "fake controversy", attention is focused on the current situation.

On March 8th, the Korean Red Cross (Chairman Shin Hee Young) announced the donation of 20 million won for Free Zia.

On March 7th, Free Zia donated money to support emergency relief in the areas affected by wildfires in Gyeongbuk, Gangwon-do. She said, "I am sorry to hear the news of the victims of the wildfire, and I decided to donate to help those who have suffered difficulties, even a little".

The money donated by Song Jia will be used for emergency relief activities for victims through the Red Cross branch in areas affected by forest fires such as Gangwon and Gyeongbuk.

Free Zia was on the cutting board last January due to the so-called "fake controversy". Controversy continued as not only wearing fake luxury goods, but also rumors about personal life related to family members.

In the end, Free Zia posted an apology video through her personal YouTube channel. She bowed her head, saying, "I acknowledge the use of counterfeit products, which has been controversial recently, and I admit that everything is my fault".

She also announced that she would make all personal channels such as YouTube private and take responsibility for her mistakes until the end.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
