Lee Min Ho Gifted A Generous Donation To A Chinese School

Lee Min Ho provided a generous donation to a local school, during his recent visit to Guangzhou for the LG Styler Gala banquet. 

Lee visited mainland China as part of his endorsement responsibilities for the electronic and houseware company. During his trip, he demonstrated his compassion for school-aged children through his participation in the special event organized by LG. 

According to a November 4 report from the Hong Kong-based outlet, Apple Next Media, the "Bounty Hunters" star donated his personal items to a charitable auction. His donations fetched top dollar from attendees, raising approximately $15,463 USD ($120,000 HKD). 

The charity auction benefitted the LG Hope Primary School, an academy located in Qinhuangdao that educates troubled children. 

Lee continues to raise his profile as a top Korean actor, who seamlessly segued from hit television dramas like "Boys Over Flowers" and "The Heirs" to blockbuster silver screen projects like the upcoming Korean-Chinese co-production, "Bounty Hunters." 

"Bounty Hunters" marks a significant point within his career, as he transitions domestic work with projects beyond endorsement activities in China. 

In addition to his acting projects, he continues to rack up key endorsements, including his recent work with the international chocolatier, Ferrero Rocher. 

His impact as a leading face of the Hallyu Wave was demonstrated by his appointment to the successful Korean Tourism Organization campaign, encouraging foreign visitors to travel to the nation.

Korea's Olympic Committee is also banking on his star power, as he continues to carry out his duties as the honorary ambassador for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
