Lee Young-ji donates 50 million won to flood victims in southern Korea

Singer Lee Young-ji has donated 50 million won to help people affected by recent flooding in southern South Korea.

Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association said the money will support recovery in the damaged areas and help residents who lost their homes or had their daily lives disrupted. Lee said watching reports about the damage made the scale of the hardship feel close, and she hoped her contribution would provide even a small measure of help during the recovery.

“

Seeing the damage through the news, I felt deeply how overwhelming the situation at the scene must be.

The donation continues Lee’s support for disaster victims and people in welfare blind spots. She gave 20 million won after floods in 2022, donated 10 million won in 2023 to support children at risk of going without meals, and contributed 100 million won for flood recovery that summer. Including the latest gift, her donations through Hope Bridge total 180 million won.

Lee became widely known after winning Mnet’s “High School Rapper 3” in 2019 and made her official music debut later that year with the single “Darkroom.” She has since released songs including “Small girl,” “NOT SORRY,” “Day and Night,” “Freesia,” “ROBOT,” “Anemone” and “ADHD.” She also won Mnet’s “Show Me the Money 11” in 2022 and currently appears on tvN’s “Space Rice Cake Shop.”

I hope this can be a small help in the recovery process, and I will join everyone in hoping and cheering for a speedy recovery.
