Hyori donates $50,000 USD to heat the homes of the elderly

Netizens recently discovered that Lee Hyori had donated $50,000 USD to help heat the homes of elderly persons living alone. When she was praised for her good deed, Hyori humbly tweeted, "I did not do anything deserving of praise. The elderly do not use expensive oil to heat their home, nor do they use cheap briquettes on a daily basis. They told me, 'My body being alive is a disturbance against others,' and I wish that such people will never have to use their own money to heat their homes again." Representatives of the 'The Beautiful Foundation' and 'Korean Association for the Elderly Living Alone' confirmed, "In November, Hyori donated $10,000 USD and $40,000 more in December. Thanks to her generous donation, hundreds of solitary elderly will be able to spend a warm winter season." Not only that, but Hyori and her fans also worked with the association twice to personally deliver briquettes to homes. Fans caught her in the act and spread pictures of her deed over the internet. Netizens commented, "Such a beautiful picture," "Let's learn from Lee Hyori," and "Her heart is indeed warming."
