The charity program `24 Hour TV,` organized by the Japanese broadcaster Nihon TV every year, featured several hallyu stars on Aug. 27, including Ryoo Shi-won, Son Ye-jin, and a video recording of Bae Yong-jun.

The program, now in its 28th year, is aimed at raising various charity funds under the theme `Living` and the slogan `Love Can Save Our Planet.` Bae, for instance, has already donated 2,000 yen (approximately 210 million won) to disaster relief efforts and physically-challenged people.

In the latest edition of the program, Bae sent a video message in which he thanked his Asian fans for their support and said he wanted to repay their love by helping the needy.

Bae`s latest donations were used to purchase vehicles to assist in relief efforts in the earthquake-stricken Niigata area. All of the vehicles have the actor`s autograph inscribed on them.

Meanwhile, Ryoo Shi-won performed his song `Sakura` in Budokan, the program's venue. `
