Singer Sean Completes '815 Run' Charity Marathon, Raising Over $1.9 Million

South Korean singer Sean successfully completed the '815 Run' charity marathon on August 15, 2026, coinciding with Liberation Day. This year's event raised a significant sum of approximately 2.6 billion Korean Won (about $1.9 million USD). The '815 Run' is an annual campaign organized by Korea Habitat and led by Sean, aiming to commemorate the joy of liberation and express gratitude towards independence activists who sacrificed for the nation.

Now in its seventh iteration since its inception in 2020, the '815 Run' carries the positive message of 'It will be okay, Korea!'. The campaign encourages participation from various individuals, fostering a sense of national pride and collective goodwill. This year, actor Park Bo-gum joined Sean in the run, lending his support to the cause and amplifying its reach.

The funds raised from the '815 Run' are directed towards supporting Korea Habitat's mission. The organization is dedicated to building and providing homes for families in need, contributing to community development and improving living conditions for vulnerable populations across South Korea. Sean's consistent dedication to this cause highlights his commitment to social contribution beyond his music career.

The successful completion of the marathon and the substantial amount raised underscore the public's engagement with the '815 Run' and their support for Korea Habitat's initiatives. The event serves as a powerful reminder of national history and a collective effort towards building a better future for the country.
