Lee Jong Suk
On December 30, Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation revealed that the actor has regularly participated in various heartening deeds. He has donated 100 million won and this will be used to support and assist youngsters who will soon be leaving childcare institutions.
The Chairman of the foundation stated, “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to actor Lee Jong Suk for donating for children in need at the end of the year. Young people, who have taken their first steps into society, are having more difficulty becoming independent due to the prolonged pandemic. The Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation will also do its best to help them become healthily self-dependent.”
The actor said,
“I know that young people preparing for independence who have to stand on their own early face great difficulties, especially in this prolonged COVID-19 situation. I don’t think independence can be achieved overnight. I hope that children living in childcare institutions will grow up healthy and enjoy many opportunities without restrictions in their education and career.”
