Staff ReporterKorean star Lee Joon-ki is once again showing his generous side, donating some of his personal belongings for an auction in Thailand. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Tapasa Foundation, the Thai royal family’s foundation.
Lee donated his DVD collection, sunglasses and hat to the Korea-Thailand Cultural Center (KTTC), which will hold the auction.
Lee was quoted as saying, he donated the items in hopes of raising money for the Thai royal family’s foundation which helps the poor people of Thailand.
Around 5,000 Thai fans attended Lee’s promotional event at the Central World in Bangkok on June 8. He also sold 200 specially designed necklaces at 1,200 baht each. There was also a special draw, where five lucky fans won a chance to have dinner with the actor.
This is not the first time Lee has donated for a good cause. During Christmas and Chuseok holiday last year, he donated money to a Korean organization helping children who are heads of households.
Lee was in Thailand to film the MBC drama “Time between Dog and Wolf” which will be aired in July. His popularity in Thailand has been increasing because of his film “King and the Clown” and drama “My Girl.”
Meanwhile, Lee will be given the Top Foreign Star Award at the 10th Shanghai Film Festival on June 16. He will personally attend the festival, which attracts stars from around the world.
