BIGBANG‘s Taeyang is such a kind soul!

On January 2, Taeyang uploaded a post via his Instagram, where he announced that as his first event after his discharge from the military, he will be holding a flea market and auction for charity!

Taeyang first thanked all his fans for all the love they sent him, and then gave details about the flea market and fundraiser. All proceeds will go to an organization called The Snail Of Love. The organization helps provide hearing aids and cochlear implants to those in need.

The items that will be donated will be from Taeyang and other artists, such as former 2NE1 member Sandara Park and CL, AKMU, iKON, WINNER and IONE.

안녕하세요 태양입니다. 지난 한 해도 항상 같은 자리에서 저를 사랑해주시고 기다려주신 팬 여러분들께 진심으로 감사드립니다. 전역 후에 뭔가 뜻깊은 일을 하고 싶기도 했고 무엇보다 여러분을 만나 함께할 수 있는 것이 무엇인지 고민해보았습니다. 그래서 여러분과 함께 더욱 따뜻한 새해를 시작하고 싶어 저와 제 친구들이 애장품들을 모아 기부 플리마켓과 경매를 준비해보았습니다. 플리마켓으로 여러분을 만나고 좋은 일도 같이 할 수 있는 것 같아 벌써 설레고 기쁜 마음입니다 :) 플리마켓의 수익금 전액은 청각장애 아동청소년들이 세상의 아름다운 소리와 음악을 듣는데 도움이 되도록 ‘사랑의 달팽이’를 통해 기부될 예정입니다. 좋은 물건들이 많이 준비되어 있으니 참여해주셔서 따뜻한 추억들 가지고 가셨으면 합니다! #태양 #TAEYANG #빅뱅 #BIGBANG #화답 #태양플리마켓 #기부플리마켓 #기부 #사랑의달팽이#PIER59STUDIOS #BC카드 #페이북 [花答 화답 – 태양과 친구들이 함께하는 기부 플리마켓&경매] – 일시: 2020년 1월 18일(토) 12PM~7PM (1시간씩 5회차 운영) – 장소: PIER59STUDIOS (서울 성동구 성수일로4길 12) – 애장품 기부: TAEYANG, DARA, AKMU, WINNER, iKON, CL, IONE – 티켓가: 네이버 해피빈 가볼까 10,000원(VAT포함, 전액 기부) – 입장: 700명(140명*5회차) – 티켓오픈: 2020년 1월 7일(화) 오전 11시, naver.me/xbcU9wL0 – 기부처: 사랑의 달팽이 ———————————————————————————————– Hello, I'm TAEYANG.
