“Although I’m saddened by the fact that I won’t be able to hear the fans sing me the birthday song, I’ll continue to be a player that the fans will be proud of. Please stay safe and thank you for all the support,” said Bdd in a translated statement by Inven Global.
The amount will definitely benefit his fellow Koreans, who are now experiencing a Red alert threat level with about 1,600 reported cases.
