We Are One Youth Volunteers Lead 644 Summer Blood Donations Across Busan, Gyeongnam, and Jeju

Even under the sweltering summer heat, young people across Busan, Gyeongnam, and Jeju are rolling up their sleeves to save lives. Members of We Are One, the Shincheonji-affiliated youth volunteer group, joined the nationwide 2025 We Are Red Second-Half Blood Donation Campaign, contributing a total of 644 successful donations to stabilize Korea’s strained blood supply.

A Nationwide Effort for Life

The campaign, which runs from July 27 to October 18, aims to gather 10,000 donors nationwide. Its timing is crucial: summer vacations and the Chuseok holiday typically see a sharp decline in blood donations, worsening supply shortages.

In this context, the youth volunteers’ commitment to donating blood carries an even greater significance, ensuring that hospitals and patients receive the life-saving support they urgently need.

Emergency Response: Platelet Donation Saves a Life

One of the most moving stories during this campaign came from Busan, where the family of a patient urgently requested platelet transfusions. In response, around 20 We Are One youth members volunteered immediately, with some even halting their regular medications for a month to qualify for donation. Their dedication directly contributed to saving a patient’s life.

Regional Participation Breakdown

The regional tallies highlight the collective effort:

  • Busan: 353 donors

  • Ulsan: 178 donors

  • Changwon: 7 donors

  • Gimhae: 36 donors

  • Jinju: 39 donors

  • Jeju: 31 donors

A representative of We Are One emphasized:

“Youth blood donation is not just service—it is the most direct and powerful way to save lives.”


Recognition from the Blood Center

Officials from the Korean Blood Service expressed deep gratitude:

“Whenever a shortage arises, We Are One is the group we can rely on. Their orderly and consistent participation makes a critical difference in maintaining stable blood supplies.”

Beyond Blood Donation

While blood donation remains a core initiative, We Are One is also preparing to expand its activities, including environmental campaigns and support for vulnerable communities. Through these efforts, the group continues to build a culture of compassion and responsibility among the younger generation.

    This is an unprecedented life-giving service and sacrifice made by the members of #ShincheonjiChurch in Korea. In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) has issued an appeal for one million donors to come forward to give blood and alleviate the current blood shortage. Let's emulate the example here in the UK 🩸
