Korean diva, Lee Hyori will be donating 5 million Korean Won (~$4,400 USD) to an animal charity in hopes to protect stray animals.
On March 22nd, this non-profit animal charity organization left a post on their homepage, under the title, “Lee Hyori has given her support”.
According to the charity, “It must be difficult contributing to so many organizations.  To a lend a hand to the Imokdong and Imundong neighborhoods, Lee Hyori decided to donate 5 million KRW.  We currently have 5 million KRW in cash at the moment; If Lee Hyori donates another 5 million KRW, we will have a total of 10 million KRW.”
Based on the website’s information, the organization has been holding fundraising events to support their costs in redeveloping current animal shelters and moving them to better locations.  With the addition of Lee Hyori’s donation, the operation can be successfully carried out.
Members of the organization left several comments on the page, thanking Hyori for her act of kindness.  ”Tears burst out of my eyes.  Such a relief.  This is a miracle“, “Her inside is beautiful as her outside“, and “It’s not easy to make donations even if you have the money.  With everyone’s help, a miracle has happened.”
