Rice wreath donations for INFINITE’s ‘That Summer’ concert to feed 24,000 children

The enormous pile of rice at the scene of INFINTE‘s ‘That Summer‘ concert is drawing much attention because it seems their noona fans may have sacrificed their summer vacation expenses to fund the wreaths.

Some of the entertaining messages left on the wreaths included, “Protect your noona! So she doesn’t age anymore! Spending this summer vacation at the AX hellgates, Noonapirit went all in  - INSPIRIT‘s noona fanpage Noonapirit“, and “Emptied out my pockets trying to chase INFINITE’s ‘That Summer’ – INFINITE supporters indefinitely.”

INFINITE’s fans had previously sent 9 tons worth of rice wreaths to their concerts held earlier this month of which they donated 3.63 tons to the Holt’s Children’s Services and the remaining 5.445 tons to the One Love Disabled Infant Care Center. As 9 tons of rice can feed up to 75,000 children, it can be said that the generous gift of thousands of INSPIRITs fed nearly 75,000 children.

Furthermore, 2,104 donated coal briquettes were distributed to 20 or so families through the Gyeongi Welfare Foundation and the Holt Community Service Center in Daegu.

Thanks to the 2.9 tons of rice donated to the ‘That Summer‘ concert to be held between the 8th to the 12th at Seoul AXKOREA, an estimated 24,000 children will be able to eat one more meal.

In the past, acts of fandom were focused around showering the artists with various gifts and flowers, however over time the fandom culture has developed into something more significant and meaningful.

In related news, INFINITE’s ‘That Summer’ concert is said to be themed around a novel concept and is sure to satisfy its 10,000 eager audience members.
