Like several actors before her (Bae Doona in Nepal, Shin Hyun-joon in Malaysia), Lee Yo-won (Bad Love, Surgeon Bong Dal-hee) is participating in tvN’s “LOVE” charity program, wherein celebrities travel abroad to help the less fortunate.
To that end, Lee recently spent six days in the Ha Long Bay region in northern Vietnam with international relief organization Good Neighbors. A photographer traveled with her on the trip (which was made from November 2 through 7) while she helped the family of a 10-year-old boy, who struggle to make ends meet.
Her segment airs on cable channel tvN on November 29.
Lee Yo-won was paired with a 10-year-old boy, Thuan, to help him and his family as the boy made his livelihood gathering shellfish. Thuan’s mother is bedridden with illness, and his older sister sells fruit to tourists on the boats that travel the bay. His father passed away a few years ago. Working all day, he and his sister make about 200,000 won a month, which is about $150.
Lee also gave him a safer boat to use while out collecting shellfish instead of the styrofoam board he’s been using, as well as a swimming suit and other materials, and promised to keep in contact and continue her support.

Good for her.
She’s also looking great, not as anorexic as in the past.
i’ve always liked her. She is the only reason I watched “Bad Love” (yep. a disappointing drama, but oh well). She is pretty and young, kinda surprised when I found out she is happily married and has a child already.
The little boy is a cutie! It’s sad to hear he has such a tough life. I am glad they are doing something to make people more aware of the hardship faced by kids like Thuan.
I like her face. It’s pleasant. Except I will forever know her because of Bad Love
Bad Love was excruciating……I hated the thick bangs they made her wear. I was so shocked to find out later that she was the girl from Surprise and Take care of my Cat. She looks so much better without the bangs.
I’ve loved her ever since fashions 70s and it’s good to see her again. I really hope she picks up a new project soon.
i wonder.. where is yo won’s couple ring ????
i admire these actors who go out of their way to help the underpriveledged! our hats are off to you — keep up the good work as good deeds never go unnoticed! God bless!
so sweet of her! God bless her and Thuan and may both they and their families come to know & experience His love too!
I don’t like Lee Yo won at all, but it’s nice hearing about celebrities that actually go out and do good deeds rather than giving money or taking pictures.
awesome, some vietnam love

Good hearted noona. Hope more families live better.
