“practical nameReportingHan hongThe foundation is suspected of violating the law and embezzling hundreds of millions!"
In 2020, the whistleblower "sema 3 " issued strong allegations on a web platform alleging that the korean red heart foundation was suspected of illegal fund-raising, unclear accounts and misappropriation of good money. To be more persuasive, he listed the “six counts”, including photographs of the unpublished annual report, the destination of the donations, and allegations that the korean red was wearing a luxury name sheet. As soon as the news came out, widespread public attention was quickly generated, and the korean reds were under tremendous pressure as they were caught in a storm of public opinion。
During that time, korean red had little chance to defend himself. Faced with widespread accusations and malicious attacks, she chose not to engage in any form of counter-attack. Despite the humiliation of the innocent, the korean reds are still focused on the disease and the diseaseCharitableBusiness. Her career was once in the throes and almost destroyed。
However, five years have passedThe truthIt had long been revealed that those who had inflicted malicious injuries on her had not apologized to her. How is hong hong's life today? What happens to those who denigrate her
— “no need” —
In 2020, at the beginning of the outbreak, the korean red heart charitable foundation quickly launched the project “standing for wuhan”. In less than a week, the foundation raised $143 million in charity funds through star groups and online fund-raising. The whereabouts of each contribution is transparent and not only does the foundation update the details of the donation in a timely manner on twitter, but even each amount is precisely the name of the hospital, the amount of the material, the signature of the recipient。
Many health workers recall that the materials of the korean red team are often “applied that day, delivered the next day” and sometimes volunteers take badly needed protective clothing to heat clinics at 3:00 in the morning. While such a transparent and efficient operation should have won more support and recognition, it was not anticipated that, despite such openness and transparency, the korean red had been in the early stages of the outbreak, with a wave of public opinion in mid-february。
On the internet, the whistle-blower “sema 3” reported to the beijing municipal civil administration office, alleging false allegations such as “no accounts” and “diversion of money to pay rent”. According to the report, the foundation raised $2. 89 million between 2013 and 2018 through a network of officials and a public number, while 25 investments that were not disclosed after 2018 gave rise to doubts. Even more netizens caught the photo of the korean red wearing a watch while questioning her “how high-profile for charity”. There are even those who maliciously tampered with the donations in the annual report of the foundation, falsifying evidence that the so-called “korean reds donate only $650,000”。
In the face of a wave of questioning, the korean red chose silence, instead of engaging in verbal abuse with whistleblowers, but instead continued to devote more effort to the fight against disease and charity. She firmly believed in “cleaning up” and responding to external accusations. During that difficult time, in order to get the material to wuhan as soon as possible, she contacted the supplier and coordinated the transport, often late at night, severely overheated her body and her voice became muted by long calls, but she never stopped。
At the same time, the beijing municipal civil administration was quickly involved in a comprehensive review of the korean red heart foundation。
— official findings —
On 20 february 2020, the beijing municipal civil administration issued a 3,000-word circular detailing the whereabouts of the foundation's charitable contributions since its inception. According to the circular, the foundation has raised 531 million yuan since its inception, of which 329 million will be used during the epidemic to purchase goods for wuhan and 56 hospitals around it. In response to the source's allegations of “a lack of clarity in the accounts”, a reply was sent confirming the very clear whereabouts of the contributions collected by the foundation and the absence of corruption or misappropriation。
In particular, with regard to the $2. 89 million raised between 2013 and 2018, it was made clear that those funds were spent on disaster relief projects such as the jan earthquake; 25 investments after 2018 did have a number of delays in disclosure but did not constitute violations. After the results of the investigation were published, public opinion suddenly turned around, and those who had been blindly accusing began to reflect on themselves, apologized to the korean red and paid tribute to her good deeds。
However, despite the fact that the majority of the population is aware of their mistakes, there are still a few who are skeptical and continue to make false statements online in an attempt to discredit the korean red cross again. But these weak voices can no longer make any noise。
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first test on the korean red charity road。
- the hard and hard road to charity
On 3 october 1999, there was a serious cable car accident in the marling river landscape of guizhou, where a 2-year-old pam survived the loss of both parents. Following the accident, many media reported the “child chosen by heaven”, but no one was willing to take over the upbringing. He was the only one who arrived at the hospital overnight after being informed of the incident. And she said, "the child is holding my finger, his eyes are swollen like walnuts, but he doesn't cry. At that moment, i decided that i would be his mother."
Since then, she has named her child “sweet korea” in the name of a lifetime of happiness and long happiness. Since then, whenever a major disaster has occurred, the korean red cross and red crescent council has been present in the affected areas for the first time, leading the foundation in emergency relief。
For example, in the aftermath of the wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the korean red-led foundation donated donations; during the new coronary epidemic, she was also quickly put on the front lines of the epidemic to help raise funds and provide supplies, for example, in wuhan. In january 2025, following the earthquake in japan in tibet, the korean reds quickly led the foundation in rescue efforts, donated 20 million yuan and shipped supplies to provide medical assistance to the population in the affected areas. In each case, she led the team and many stars, raising more than $1 billion in cumulative money。
The korean red's footsteps have never stopped over the years, and she has demonstrated the meaning of charity with practical action. Despite many false allegations over the past five years, she remains firmly on the path of charity。
— five years ago, there was still no apology —
It is regrettable that so far, the “sema 3 facade” has not apologized to the korean red cross, even though he still owns hundreds of thousands of fans and does not seem to have been affected in any way. And han hong, even though he won the public after the truth was revealedTrustIt is still under great stress. Her reputation has been damaged and her philanthropy has suffered unprecedented obstacles. The hearts and volunteers who had been keen to participate in the korean red foundation had begun to waver, many partners had looked forward to the foundation and it had become difficult to advance charitable projects。
This false report is not just an injury to the korean red individual, but a blow to charity as a whole. Charities are based on trust, and once there is public suspicion about charitable organizations, the confidence of society as a whole in charities will decline, and ultimately those who will suffer will be the vulnerable groups who truly need help。
Today, the korean red remains committed to her charitable path, although she continues to be questioned and attacked by the outside world. Just last 13 april, her mother, tibetan singer xinxi, died in beijing at the age of 78. In keeping with the mother's last wish, the korean red only informed his family and friends of a low-profile farewell, but was misconstrued by some of his netizens as “insolent” “insolent”. She chose silence in the face of those harsh statements, as she still believed that time would prove everything when she had made a malicious report about “sema 3” five years earlier。
Today, it is becoming easier to fabricate and maliciously attack a good person. A p-chart and rumour can easily erase 23 years of good deeds. Whenever we knock on the back of a keyboard, do we ever think that if even people like han hong are questioned, who dares to do charity
As the netizens say, "a wage earner must not freeze him to the snow!" perhaps we owe the korean red not just an apology, but a fear of goodwill。
