CHOI SIWON (SUPER JUNIOR) FANS RAISE US$6500 FOR AFRICA PROJECT
RELEASED MAY 2012
Seoul, South Korea - 3RD WAVE music’s guest artist, Choi Siwon of Korea’s number one boyband, Super Junior, through his fans from all over the world, has helped raise US$6500 for West Africa. Siwon brought awareness to the cause on his birthday, encouraging his fans to directly donate or purchase 3RD WAVE’s “IGNITE: 1040” album on his birthday, with proceeds given to Africa.
3RD WAVE, Christian rock band consisting of KPOP stars Brian Joo (Fly to the Sky), Choi Siwon (Super Junior), Alexander Lee Eusebio (formerly of U-KISS) based in Seoul, helped spearhead the medical relief program that began in 2003, collaborating with Abidjan International Ministry and Food for the Hungry, to aid those in need of severe surgical procedures. However, it was only from 2009 when surgeries in Africa were finally made possible through the project.
Johnny Lee, founder/producer of 3RD WAVE, explains that the goal is to raise over US$10,000 to provide life-saving surgeries to those suffering in the Ivory Coast. With regard to the star’s contribution, he says “what an honor to bless people in need and to make a real difference in people's lives.” Brian Joo, who is the lead vocalist of the 3RD WAVE projects, believes Siwon’s involvement will bring great positivity to those who need it. Brian shares, “I never regret being able to help out others, and this is more than a dream come true that I can really help those in need."
Beginning August of this year, US and African medical professionals plan to perform over 100 surgeries.

南韓最受歡迎男子組合Super Junior團員Choi Siwon，也是3RD WAVE的義演歌手之一，今年生日的時候鼓勵他的歌迷，把準備送他禮物的錢用來購買3RD WAVE出版的「IGNITE: 1040」專輯，捐助西非國家有需要幫助的人，結果他來自世界各地的歌迷響應了呼籲，購買了總值US$6500的專輯。
3RD WAVE由南韓一班基督徒流行歌手組成，團員包括﹕Brian Joo (Fly to the Sky), Choi Siwon (Super Junior), Alexander Lee Eusebio (U-KISS前團員)，成立於2003年，主旨是要幫助西非國家地區的人民，提供食物舒緩饑餓，同時計劃向他們提供醫療援助。然而，到了2009年才正式開始了外科手術服務。
Johnny Lee是3RD WAVE發起人兼製作人，他解釋最新目標是要籌募最少一萬美元捐款，用來資助象牙海岸地區人民外科手術用品。關於藝人參與慈善項目，他說﹕「能夠幫助有需要的人，使他們可以改善生活，是我們的榮幸」。Brian Joo 是3RD WAVE項目的主音歌手，他相信Siwon這次的義舉，可以給有需要的那些人帶來極大的正面影響。Brian分享他的想法﹕「能夠幫助其他人是我一直以來的夢想，現在能夠實現我感到很開心，並且會繼續下去」。
今年八月開始，美國和非洲醫療專家計劃進行100項外科手術。
