Lee Sang-soon and Lee Hyori Donate 200 Million Won to Support Youth Independence

On May 20, the celebrity couple Lee Sang-soon (51) and Lee Hyori (46) made a generous donation of 200 million won to the Beautiful Foundation to support the healthy independence of youth preparing to transition from child welfare facilities. The funds will assist these young adults with their educational expenses and career exploration activities as they reach adulthood.

The couple expressed their desire to contribute to the healthy self-sufficiency of these youth, stating, "We decided to donate to help young people find their own identities and dream about their futures."

This donation holds special significance as it marks a collaboration between Lee Hyori, who has maintained a relationship with the Beautiful Foundation for over a decade, and Lee Sang-soon, who has consistently shown interest in addressing welfare gaps. Lee Hyori began her philanthropic efforts in 2011 with a donation of 50 million won to support heating costs for elderly individuals living alone and has continued to contribute to the foundation since then.
