Clarification details how funds are collected and allocated between W Korea and partner organizations

In response to the controversy surrounding the so-called “Breast Cancer Party,” W Korea has issued a clarification on the donation records tied to the breast cancer awareness campaign. The news outlet explained that the campaign’s donations are handled through two streams: (1) funds directly delivered by W Korea, and (2) funds donated directly to the foundation by participating companies and individuals, according to their own wishes. The foundation then uses these donations for its programs at its own discretion.

Since the collaboration began in 2006, donations have continued in the same manner through 2025, with the exception of the three-year gap from 2007 to 2009, and both organizations have confirmed all records. The previously cited cumulative figure of 300 million won reflected only direct donations. When corporate and individual donations are added to the three years of contributions to the Korea Association for Population Health and Welfare, the total cumulative donations amount to 1.1 billion won.
