Lee Hyori's Letter With $47 To 'The Beautiful Foundation'

A letter arrived at the office of The Beautiful Foundation on February 15 from singer Lee Hyori.

The envelope contained a handwritten letter and around $47 in cash. The letter revealed that she wanted to be a part of the online funding platform 'Ant Sponsor.'

This project is where if 100,000 citizens just donate $47 per person, then the lawsuit issues of workers in railroad trade unions and other problematic situations could be solved.

Hyori started off as, "How is everyone doing on this cold, cold day?"

She continued, "My heart was heavy for the past few years as I was watching them fight and was not able to do anything about it. I didn't want my heart to be an overwhelming burden for them, being misunderstood and analyzed in the wrong ways."

She said, "I read from a website that a mother saved the $47 by saving up from sending her kids to afterschool programs, and I felt ashamed so I am sending this to you. This is such a little amount of money that I feel ashamed but as a mother's $47 was a fireseed to me, I hope that my $47 will also be a fireseed to someone else."

Today is the 8th day of donation receiving and they have gotten about 10% of their goal amount so far.
