Singer Jang Han Byul is warming hearts by visiting an abandoned dog shelter ahead of his stage appearance.

On July 17, Jang Han Byul visited the abandoned dog shelter 'Big Dog Forest' in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, for the second time. At this facility, which houses senior dogs and large breeds, he participated in volunteer work alongside members of his fan cafe 'Milky Way.'

The volunteer activities that day reportedly included kennel cleaning, feeding, and bonding with the dogs, within the range of programs typically offered by the shelter. However, as dog-walking volunteer programs were temporarily suspended during the summer due to the extreme heat, the specific activities were likely carried out within the scope of the shelter's official guidelines.

What draws particular attention is the timing of the visit. The day after his volunteer work, on August 1, Jang Han Byul took to the stage at the MBN 'Unknown Legend' concert in Daejeon. In other words, he set aside time for charitable work just one day before his performance.

The news spread through the fan cafe and became a major topic of discussion among fans. It was reported that, prompted by this visit, the total donations from 'Milky Way' fan cafe members to Big Dog Forest have surpassed 20 million won. Big Dog Forest states that the donated funds are used for dog food expenses, medical costs, and shelter operational expenses.

The shelter also runs a live YouTube broadcast, and it is believed that fans who watched it naturally turned their interest into donations. Jang Han Byul has continued his charitable activities alongside his fandom even after his first volunteer visit.

While expanding his public recognition through MBN's 'Unknown Legend' recently, he continues to engage in social contribution activities alongside his music career.

Meanwhile, Jang Han Byul is one of the most notable stars in the August Netizens Awards. As of the afternoon of the 4th, he ranks first in the Neo Star category while also maintaining top positions in the Album Award, Celebrity Award, Fan Book Award, and Net Grand Prix.
