Hani’s donations will be used to support children who have just left the welfare system. Hani said, “I decided to provide financial support so that young people of the same age can have the opportunity to dream and challenge.”((The Korean Economy Daily article about Hani’s donation: http://daily.hankooki.com/lpage/entv/202012/dh20201210123323139020.htm))
An official at Beautiful Store explained why they are publicizing Hani’s donations. Hani usually wants to donate and do good deeds silently. They announced her donation this year in the hope that her influence could lead to more interest and social support.((The Korean Economy Daily article about Hani’s donation: http://daily.hankooki.com/lpage/entv/202012/dh20201210123323139020.htm))
