Singers Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon just made a heartwarming move—they donated 200 million won ($143K) to the Beautiful Foundation on the 19th. The money’s going toward helping young adults who are about to leave institutional care get on their feet. It’ll cover stuff like school, living costs, and figuring out careers.
The couple said, “We decided to donate to offer a small contribution to the healthy self-reliance of young adults preparing for independence. We hope these young people can find their unique selves and dream for the future.”
This donation means a lot—not just ’cause it’s generous, but ’cause it brings together Lee Hyo-ri’s 10-year bond with the Beautiful Foundation and Lee Sang-soon’s steady interest in helping folks who fall through the cracks. It’s a clear sign they’re serious about wanting these young adults to build stable, independent lives and be active parts of society.
The Beautiful Foundation’s all about public good—it connects donors, citizens, and activists to create meaningful change. They’ve got over 30 programs supporting public interest work and neighbors in need, and they push for a healthy culture of giving.
Honestly, it’s pretty cool to see celebs using their influence for something this positive.
