K-pop star supports veteran’s family with home repair
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
K-Pop singer 빽가 (Baekga) and the home service platform 숨고 (Sumgo) renovated the home of 조완구 (Jo Wan-gu) and his wife, the grandchildren of a Korean independence activist. 조완구 participated in establishing the Korean provisional government and served as its Minister of the Interior.
The couple’s house in Korea had suffered from dampness, mold, and general disrepair over 30 years. Sumgo mobilized its network of skilled workers, called “gosu,” to repair the house.
They removed mold, replaced wallpaper and flooring, and eliminated tripping hazards. 빽가 personally participated in demolition and cleaning. He also used his own money to purchase new furniture and household items for the couple. 빽가 recently revealed that his great-grandfather, 진희창 (Jin Hee-chang), supported the Korean independence movement in Shanghai. He had previously registered as a service provider on Sumgo two years ago. 빽가 stated that working with Sumgo on this project was especially meaningful because of his family history.
Sumgo plans to continue supporting community projects using the skills of its network of professionals. The renovation process is also being documented on 빽가’s YouTube channel, “빽가언니” (Baekga Unni).
