His management agency Tree J Company said on Wednesday that the 24-year-old actor raised the funds by selling wristbands, cards and other items with well-wishing messages for Japan at his Japanese fan site from March 17-31.

Earlier, Jang gave 10 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross on March 14. He also delivered 5,000 blankets with a message of encouragement for Japanese in disaster-stricken areas.
