I am an actress named Lee Young Ae, who lives in South Korea.
As a family member of a war veteran,
I am feeling the cruelty of war far more deeply than anyone else.

I earnestly wish for war to end in Ukraine
and for peace to be restored.
I pray for all of the Ukrainian citizens' safety and wellbeing.

To the Ukrainian citizens who love freedom and peace,
I plead with you to not lose hope and courage!

As one among many citizens who love peace in a free South Korea,
I want to deliver my small but precious heart to all the citizens of Ukraine.
May god always be with you."
