Actress Lee Si-young donated 100 million won to the Beautiful Foundation on the 4th to ensure a warm winter for vulnerable neighbors. The donation will be used to provide winter supplies such as coats, underwear, and winter blankets to about 230 families with grandparents, parents of teenagers, and senior citizens living at home.
This sharing stems from Lee Si-young's continued interest in supporting vulnerable social groups such as children, adolescents, women, and the elderly. Lee Si-young, who previously established a relationship with the Beautiful Foundation by providing assistive devices to disabled children in 2019, donated 10 million won in 2020 to support living expenses for self-employed single parents and female self-employed women, and 1 million won in 2021 for adolescent parents and borderline intelligence youth discharged from welfare facilities. By donating billions of won, he has established himself as a good example of ‘good influence’.
Lee Si-young said, “I participated in sharing with the hope that everyone could spend warmly together this particularly cold winter,” and “I hope to convey my support for the health and happiness of my neighbors.”
Kim A-ran, director of the Beautiful Foundation, said, “I hope that Donor Lee Si-young’s sharing will serve as an opportunity for many people to look out for the well-being of their neighbors and lead to a warm community atmosphere where we can spend a warm winter together.”
