“The money will be used for children who have gone through domestic violence,” a representative from the organization said. “It will help them receive psychological therapy and help them with their heating bills at home.”

The actor’s donation platform Promiz, which was organized by Lee and his fans, raised the amount from Jan. 16 to 26.

Good Neighbors and Promiz collaborated on a campaign called, “Making Warm Winter for Both Bodies and Hearts” via social media. The Facebook pages of the NGO and donation platform needed to reach over 1,000 likes in order to make the donation to the needy.
