Famous mystery donor returns to Jeonju this Christmas.

From Yonhap.

Jeonju's Secret Santa (or angel without a face, 얼굴 없는 천사) made another visit to a Jeonju community center this year. The Hankyoreh has more in English.

The "angel" has donated money to the village at the end of every year for the past 11 years. According to Nosong area officials, a man they estimate to be in his 40s called the community center around noon on Tuesday to tell the staff where he had put his donation for this year.

. . .

The money left outside the beauty shop was stuffed inside a piggy bank and a paper box. The donation, totaling 35,840,900 won ($31,219.80), was a mixture of bills and coins in various denominations. There were 700 50,000-won bills, 1,531 500-won coins, 739 100-won coins and 21 10-won coins.

Over the past 11 years, the anonymous donor has given a total of 197,204,020 won.

I was wondering if he'd show up this December because last year there was word that the donor had died, as the Korea Herald wrote:

Unlike in previous years, a note accompanied this year's gift indicating that the original donor had passed away. City officials believe the amount given this year included the money received at the deceased's funeral.
