Zo In-Sung, Kim Ha-Neul, And Rain Shine Bright At La-Inspired Manna Bazaar For Rare Disease Support

Hollywood Heartbeats: Stars Rally for Manna Bazaar 2025

Los Angeles might be all about glitz and glam, but some of the biggest names in entertainment are trading the red carpet for a cause close to their hearts. Zo In-sung, Kim Ha-neul, Rain (Jung Ji-hoon), and a whole crew of celebs are rolling up their sleeves for the 2025 Manna Bazaar, a charity event supporting pediatric rare disease treatment. Think of it as a Hollywood fundraiser with a SoCal summer energy, bringing hope to kids in need.

This isn’t just a one-off photo op - it’s the sixth year of the Manna Bazaar, kicking off back in 2020. Organized by Manna, a collective of entertainment industry pros and other big-hearted folks, every penny raised goes straight to covering medical costs for children battling rare conditions. From personal items to quirky collectibles, the bazaar’s got it all, and the stars are here to make sure it’s a sold-out success.

Happening on January 18, 2025, at Mauritia Cafe in Seongsu-dong (think of it as the Koreatown of Seoul, buzzing with trendy vibes), the event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Want in? Check out Manna’s official Instagram for the full scoop on how to donate, sponsor, or snag some star-studded swag.

Star Power: Celebs Making a Difference

Zo In-sung and Kim Ki-bang: Six Years of Giving

If loyalty had a face, it’d be Zo In-sung. This leading man has been a Manna Bazaar staple for six straight years, not just showing up but also hooking up orphanages with sneakers and snack funds. His West Coast-worthy generosity is the kind of thing that’d make even Malibu locals proud.

Right alongside him is Kim Ki-bang, who’s stealing scenes in MBN’s First Lady and hearts at the bazaar for the sixth year running. He’s all about spreading the word, recently saying,

'I’m hoping y’all jump in on the Manna Bazaar - every dollar helps kids fighting rare diseases, and that’s a cause worth supporting.'

It’s that kind of real talk that reminds us why LA loves a good underdog story.

Kim Ha-neul and Ko Chang-seok: Warmth in Every Smile

Kim Ha-neul is back for her fourth year, bringing that Hollywood-adjacent kindness to the table. Beyond the bazaar, she’s been volunteering at adoption centers and orphanages with Manna, proving she’s got a heart as big as the Pacific Ocean off Santa Monica.

Then there’s Ko Chang-seok, known for his standout role in tvN’s Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, who’s also in for his fourth year. With a grin that could light up Venice Beach, he didn’t hesitate to join the cause again, showing that warmth isn’t just for SoCal summers.

New Faces and Returning Heroes

Rain and Park Hyo-jun: Busy but Big-Hearted

Rain, aka Jung Ji-hoon, is juggling solo concerts from New York to LA and prepping for Bloodhounds Season 2 on Netflix, yet he’s still making time for the bazaar after last year’s appearance. That’s the kind of hustle-meets-heart combo you’d expect from someone who could own the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Park Hyo-jun, the multi-talented actor and YouTuber behind ‘Burger-hyung,’ is back for his second year, donating earnings and rallying support for marginalized communities. His call to action? Get involved and make a difference - straight-up LA-style motivation.

Fresh Talent Joins the Cause

The lineup doesn’t stop there. Yoon Sang-jeong, a breakout star from TVING’s Study Group, has been in the game since 2022, while newbies like Song Ji-woo, who made waves in Squid Game Season 2 on Netflix, are stepping up. Add in Seong-ryeong, Seo Min-ju, Kim Min-seok, and Kim Tae-jung, and you’ve got a roster that’s as stacked as an Oscars after-party.

From personal collections to everyday essentials like clothes and cosmetics, the bazaar’s goods are priced to move, thanks to the celebs who’ve curated it all. Whether you’re donating cash, sponsoring products, or shopping on the day, it’s a chance to vibe with a cause that’s pure Cali cool - giving back, no strings attached.
