Always nice to see fans donating to a cause in the name of their idol~
As announced earlier, Lee Min-ho was recently appointed as the ambassador for the UNICEF Love Net campaign that seeks to increase awareness and the prevention of malaria in Africa. Malaria is easily preventable, but when one is living in poverty and doesn’t even have access to clean, fresh water, that becomes the least of one’s problems and children are especially susceptible to dying from malaria. The Love Net campaign is essentially trying to raise funds to provide and install LLINs (long-lasting insecticidal nets) in the homes of these families. For more information about this campaign, click here.
Anyway, the kindhearted fans of Lee Min-ho on DCInside started fundraising after the news of their idol being a part of this campaign, and have donated 6.22 million (Lee Min-ho’s birthday is June 22nd) KRW to Love Net campaign. In addition to that, a separate fan cafe donated an additional 3.75 million KRW, accumulating a total of 9.97 million KRW.
From my research, each bed net costs about 6000 KRW. You do the math. Whatever the amount, it’s still great to see fans dedicating themselves to their idol’s cause.
