Lee Junki (Iljimae) is donating 100 million won (about $70,000) on behalf of disadvantaged youths.
The popular actor’s contribution goes to Korea Youth Protection Association’s Happy Community Children Center. A representative from the association expressed their appreciation, saying, “I was moved to see Lee Junki inquiring about and taking an interest in the children’s center.”
Lee went to the center on December 4 to deliver the funds in person. According to his reps, he had told them previously of his intent to donate his earnings from his last CF to an outreach organization.
The center serves poor and working-class children in the community by teaching them English (or Korean to the children of foreign laborers), math, and other academic subjects for free. It’s the giving season, and despite the current slump in the Korean entertainment industry (and, well, worldwide), it’s nice to see that the more fortunate still have a thought for the less fortunate.

I find that its funny that they praise Lee but when Miss Moon did donated they was all negative.
Countdown to the antis claiming he showed up in person simply for recognition starts in 3…2…1…
Good for him. Glad to see the haves helping out the have nots especially in this time of economic peril.
aw yay!
he does not look great in that shot though, haha.
How much do you want to bet people are going to come down on him, saying it was just a publicity stunt?
Frankly, I don’t care why he did. I’m just glad he did it.
‘Tis the season ..for giving!
I’m happy he’s helping out the more unfortunate, doesn’t matter the reasons why, as long as it’s a good cause.
No one does the suit like Lee Junki. Maybe So Jisub.
I agree, Ayame.
I wonder why…he didn’t do it anonymously?
Anyway it’s good he is doing it for a good cause.
Gotta love a giver.
That was nice of him to donate the money regardless, he did not have to do it. (For the haters above). The most important thing is that the it’s beneficial for the children.
Peace
This is all new to me. What does “CF” stand for?
i think people should stop being cynical. will they themselves be willing to part with a 10dollar bill for charity, let alone a few thousand dollars?? please let these people shut up. What Junki did is not something that many people can easily and willingly do.
I think he looks really good in this picture, no matter what others say…
what do you know, he’s doing in real life what he portrayed in his last drama
iljimae. Got to really admire and love a man like him.
i admire celebs who are like him! no doubt it’ll go back to you Li ten-fold as the saying goes — and to all the other celebs who are doing great things for the underpriveledged! hats off to you!
eyebags… hehe..
anyways… publicity or not, give is give, so we where the cash go is the most important… helping children….
did anyone read how much the highest rated Korean star donate to charity? or the top 10 actors?
He’s such a generous guy….and hot.
good for him! publicity stunt or not..its all for a good cause

He’s like one of the most well-known Korean actors out there right now…he’s just a great guy…don’t like his hair in that pic, but the suit is HOT.
jun ki is very kindly person … not all people can do what he doing. may god bless him
For #10 Anonymous:
In this case CF stands for Commercial Film.
(I am not sure about the actual words but I know that it IS the idea)
Actually, LJK has done things for youth-at-risk in the past. This isn’t a publicity stunt. It’s something he’s consistently been supporting since he hit fame.
