Lee Hyori donates $107,000 from Eco Project 2012 calendar


Back in December, Lee Hyori released a 2012 calendar with her dog Soonshim to promote animal adoption.
The calendars sold for around $10 a piece and it was reported that all the proceeds would be donated to helping animals and now the first check has finally arrived.
On February 18th, Lee Hyori tweeted, “On the behalf of everyone, I donated the first payment from the sales of Soonshim’s calendar. To everyone who participated in making this calendar happen and everyone who supported this and donated, you have my sincere thanks. Oh yeah, Soonshim you did a good job as well.” Along with this tweet, she added the photo seen above.
The photo was a proof shot of Lee Hyori donating 120 million won (around $107,000) to the Korean Animal Welfare Association. You can also see Soonshim in the background on the mini stage.
Upon seeing this, netizens commented, “Very Heartwarming“, “Always trying to help the animals Hyori unnie fighting!“, and “That’s amazing~“.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyori will be an MC on SBS TV‘s “You & I” alongside Jung Jae Hyung, which will broadcast its pilot episode on February 26th.
