HERE ARE A FEW RESPONSES FROM NETIZENS ABOUT THIS:

Look at those Red Cross scammers extorting money, haha. They come like tax bills and rip off the elderly, and now they’re extorting money too.

So money can solve everything, haha.

Is the Red Cross a gangster?????? And they don’t even pay taxes…

In the end, it turns out the Red Cross was extorting money…

They immediately apologized and made a donation after complaints about using the Red Cross logo, and the promotion also helped. So in the end, it was a win-win for both sides, and the outcome was okay.

When you donate to the Red Cross, you get a tax deduction at the end of the year.

It’s ten million won per person, huh? The Red Cross, haha.

Wow, what a bunch of scammers…

The Korean Red Cross, founded in 1905, has a longstanding history of quickly aiding in both domestic and international disasters.

The organization, with 119 years of experience, plays a crucial role in alleviating human suffering and aiding in the recovery process.
