[NEWS] 150320 YoonA revealed to be a member of charity organization's Honor Society + netizens weep over her awesomeness

150320 YoonA revealed to be a member of charity organization's Honor Society + netizens weep over her awesomeness

YoonA impresses with not only her good looks but also her good heart. On March 20, a popular post titled, "Wow... there's really nothing bad to say about Girls' Generation's YoonA," began circulating among various online communities. 

In the post, a netizen shows a picture of YoonA being listed among contributors to the Community Chest of Korea (CCK), an organization that raises funds and allocates them to welfare centers and charity projects. The netizen explains, "YoonA has become the first person in her 20s to join the [CCK's] Honors Society, which is for members who contribute large sums." 


According to the CCK, the "'Honor Society' was formed to bring together the community leaders with deep understanding of the major social problems and desires to do something about them." Netizens are impressed that YoonA has given a generous donation to this program as a way to help the community despite her young age. 

It's nice to see a successful idol who is probably making bank yearly donate to charity. Netizen comments were mostly positive, of course, with top comments saying, "Personality, appearance, there's nothing she lacks," and, "Awesome... she's the best!"

[ARTICLE] 150316 "Beep, Beep" -- Korean Singer YoonA Wins Model Taxpayer Award

150316 "Beep, Beep" -- Korean Singer YoonA Wins Model Taxpayer Award (full credit to Forbes)




YoonA is a K-pop star. She is 24 years old. She sings. She dances. She acts. She is a fashion icon for teen girls. She has appeared in a number of widely followed Korean serial dramas including Love Rain and The Prime Minister and I. She is one of eight members of the wildly popular band Girls Generation which has recorded such hits asBeep-Beep and Do the Catwalk. And now . . . she is the recipient of a presidential award from the South Korean government for being a dutiful and honest taxpayer who has made a significant financial contribution to her country. As part of the award she will be an honorary ambassador of Korea’s National Tax Service, helping to promote her fellow citizens’ duty to pay taxes.

YoonA is not the only Korean celebrity enlisted to help the government collect revenue. On March 3 she was joined by actor Song Seung-Heoun at the 49th Taxpayers’ Day ceremony at the COEX Auditorium in Seoul. Yes, Korea has a day to encourage its citizens to pay their taxes honestly and on time. This year, as in prior years, a number of celebrities and companies received awards and honors. Last year U.S. pharmaceutical giant Merck received a good taxpayer award.


South Korea (population 50.2 million) has a top individual tax rate of 38 percent plus a local income tax with a top rate of 3.8 percent. The corporate rate is 24.2 percent.

Although we are all required by law to pay taxes (and obey the speed limit), it helps compliance to maintain and improve taxpayer morale. Short of funds to conduct enforcement actions, maybe IRS Commissioner John Koskinen can suggest a National Taxpayers’ Day as a low-cost way to improve compliance in the United States.

An alternative approach to motivating compliance is fear. And the easiest and cheapest way to get the message out is to take advantage of the public’s and the press’s obsession with celebrities. In the United States every year, a handful of the rich and famous are in the news after being caught not paying taxes, some of whom even serve jail time. The short list includes: Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes, Darryl Strawberry, Marc Anthony, and Willie Nelson. OMG!

[NETIZEN REACTIONS] 150303 Song Seung Hun and Yoona Appointed Model Taxpayers

150303 Song Seung Hun and Yoona Appointed Model Taxpayers


Article: [Exclusive] Song Seung Hun and Yoona chosen as model taxpayers... to receive presidential citation on the 3rd

Source: TV Report via Naver

1. [+1,036, -44] I pay my taxes on time too..

2. [+616, -50] First time seeing an article like this after reading articles about tax evasion celebrities all the time

3. [+490, -46] Amazing of Song Seung Hun...

4. [+418, -35] Amazing of them, unlike some others

5. [+342, -26] There needs to be more people like them...

6. [+122, -12] It's simple fact that you should pay as much as you make but reality is that so little people keep to that rule, especially when you look at people like Song Hye Gyo or Jang Geun Suk. Amazing of these huge earners to make sure they pay their taxes.

7. [+114, -12] To the people complaining why only celebrities and high earners get these citations is because the more you earn, the more you tend to evade taxes so they're trying to set examples

8. [+108, -11] Wow... Yoona makes a lot

9. [+108, -19] Wow, the honor society's a huge place.. Yoona's not only pretty but commendable

10. [+82, -17] Had no idea Yoona donated so much; especially since it's rarely in the news. Way better than some celebrities who manage their image through public donations.

기쁘고감사한마음과 동시에 무겁고두려운기분이지만.. 그래도 기쁜마음이 좀더 큰건.. 저를 믿어주신 분들에게 상받는모습으로 조금이라도 보답해드릴수있는것같아서 기뻐요. 아직 그믿음이 완전히 틀리지않았다고 자신있게 말씀드릴수는없어도 더 노력할수있는 기회와 가능성이 주어지는 것만으로도 감사해요..조금만 더 지켜봐주세요. 2014년 내생애봄날덕분에 너무행복한 한해였어요. 우리 양떼님들, 시청자여러분 감사합니다❤

Translation: 
My joyful and happy heart is also heavy and scared at the same time.. but my happy heart is slightly bigger.. I'm happy because I feel like my award is a response, albeit small, to everyone who believed in me. Even though I can't confidently tell you that your belief wasn't misplaced, I'm thankful just for being given the chance to work harder and to be able to show potential.. Please watch over me for a bit longer. 2014 was a very happy year thanks to "My Spring Days". Thank you to our sheeps (fandom name for "My Spring Days") and viewers. ❤
