As 2015 draws to a close and we head into the New Year, BIGBANG's Seungri donated 130,000 charcoal briquettes for those in need of warmth. 

Seungri, who had a particularly active year promoting BIGBANG's new album and going on a world tour, decided to donate 30,000 charcoal briquettes to give back the support he received from fans and even spent time volunteering at the Seoul Charcoal Bank on December 29.



Seungri, who has volunteered with YG Family in the past, showed up early to volunteer in the cold weather alongside Jinusean's Sean and other celebrities. 

Seungri then donated 100,000 more charcoal briquettes on the spot in order to share the love he has received with more people. As such, including the original 30,000 briquettes Seungri originally intended to donate, he donated a total of 130,000 briquettes. 

Meanwhile, Seungri will continue on BIGBANG's world tour with the members, performing at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka from January 9-11, the Yahuoku Dome in Fukuoka on February 6 and 7 as well as the Tokyo Dome on February 23 and 24.

Let's take a look at some of them:

BIGBANG's MADE album

It was in April 2015 that YG Entertainment announced BIGBANG's comeback. For fans of the boy band, this was one of the most anticipated albums of the year and their loyalty towards GD and the rest of the band members showed in the success of MADE album. Singles such as "Bae Bae", "Loser" and "Bang Bang Bang" are some of the most popular kpop songs of 2015.
