Korean singer Jang Nara has donated 8 billion won's worth of clothing to earthquake victims in Chengdu city, the capital of Sichuan Province, in China.
The donation was organized by Boston, the parent company of parka coat brand Bing Jie, where Jang is currently modeling. Boston donated 100,000 duck feather parker coats to Jang charitable organization called "Jang Nara's Aeshim Donation", which was then given to the earthquake-hit city.
"It is a great honor and I am proud to help the people who have been shaken by the devastating earthquake. I do hope they will feel warmth in their hearts from the warm dark feather coats", she said at a ceremony.
Jang, who started out as an actor and singer here, moved to China in 2005. After attracting a large fan base there, she has received praise for her work in both singing and acting. She was also given the "Best Korean Star Promoting Seoul Tourism" award by the Seoul municipal government last December.
A magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit the southwestern city of China in May last year, claiming nearly 70,000 lives with an additional 19,000 missing. The earthquake left more than five million people homeless.
