Dongwon & Korean Sportstar “Tuna” Team Up To Donate To Underprivileged Kids

Korean tuna company Dongwon and Park Dong-won, a player from the Seoul-based baseball team LG Twins, are coming together for a good cause. The baseball star will donate KRW 300,000 (USD 211.66) per home run, whereas Dongwon F&B will give KRW 1 million (USD 705.64) worth of tuna products to underprivileged children through local NGOs. Dong-won and Dongwon will sign the deal today ahead of an LG Twins match.

The player, lovingly called “tuna” among his friends and fellow teammates, due to him sharing a name with the Dongwon brand, said he has “a special affection for his nickname that he designed his player uniform with the concept of ‘Tuna’ in 2024,” read a statement from LG Korea. Dongwon F&B and LG Twins have an array of plans lined out for this year. Dong-won said: “The fact that my home run can help someone as well as the team win is a great motivation.”
