It was previously reported that actress Kyeon Mi Ri used her daughter Lee Da In's wedding money for a meaningful good deed.
On April 10 KST, it was reported that Kyeon Mi Ri will donate the money from Lee Seung Gi and her daughter Da In's wedding as a donation for disabled and vulnerable children.
According to the report, she expressed her intention to use the congratulatory money for a meaningful cause through the Korea Information Society for the Disabled as a token of gratitude to the people who attended the wedding.
However Kyeon Mi Ri's family has long been a subject of controversy in Korea, with attempts at trying to clear her name only backfiring immensely. It seems Korean netizens have a lot of opinions about Kyeon Mi Ri's recent attempt at good will.
On a Korean online community, netizens gathered to share their opinions of the news.
"So you donate to a foundation you created? No way."
"People in that family don't seem to have normal mental strength... If public opinion was this bad, they should just have a quiet wedding and live quietly, but they don't care, they keep going out in the public eye, have extravagant weddings, and continue to speak loudly in public."
"You say you're going to donate, and then you donate to your own foundation? It's a real comedy. The people in this family can't be reasoned with. Goodbye Lee Seung Gi."
"Instead of just living quietly, she's thinking her children, son-in-law, and grandchildren will be cursed at for generations, so she's trying to clean up her image."
"Aren't you supposed to live with atonement instead of reciprocation?"
"Donating with other people's money hahahaha. It's not like they said they won't accept cash gifts, and will instead be making a donation with their own money hahahahaha They're so shameless. They said it was going to be a private wedding, and it ended up being a completely open to everyone."
"I hate seeing all of those families on TV. How do you harm others and live shamelessly like this?"
"If you don't want to be suspicious, you should donate to an unrelated foundation."
"I heard that she donated, so I thought she did it with a good heart, and in the end she's just going to wash her image and return the money right back to her pocket."
However it is worth noting that Lee Geum Joo, CEO of Symbiosis Sympathy, was displeased over the allegations that actress Kyeon Mi Ri owns the foundation.
Representative Lee has stated, "We have gratefully and thankfully received support from Ms. Kyeon Mi Ri, but the foundation is not hers."
Interested cherry picked negative comments cccc
EunhaYi at least has chosen to share statement of CEO of foundation in her article. Kudos to EunhaYi, but cherry picked negative comment might be good opening for paid bots and could potentially boost article
So to summarize:
- netizens wrongly assume that KMR owns foundation, which she does not
- wanna have final saying where KMR is allowed to donate money to (may be they can run statewide referendum for their next decision, who knows)
- don’t like it if she donates money
- don’t like it if she doesn’t donate money
- these comments are negligible minority, at statistical error level, in any other news outlet but hey worth trying it here.
