The city of Uijeongbu in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Wonki Kim) announced on July 14 that Ohwook Lee had donated 5 million won on July 13 to support low-income youth households.


The donation ceremony, held at the Uijeongbu mayor’s office on the same day, was attended by Ohwook Lee and Mayor Wonki Kim. In addition to presenting his donation, Ohwook Lee also joined the ‘Sharing Leader (Silver)’ program—an individual donor initiative run by the Community Chest of Korea.


The ‘Sharing Leader’ program is a personal giving initiative in which individuals make a one-time or pledged donation of at least 1 million won within a year. This membership carries special significance as it goes beyond a simple donation, allowing Lee to share his achievements with the local community and deliver hope to young people who are pursuing dreams despite difficult circumstances.


Ohwook Lee stated, "Rather than leaving the prize money as merely a personal accomplishment, I wanted to use it in a meaningful way to support someone's dreams and hopes, which is why I decided to donate. I hope this small contribution offers encouragement to young people who do not give up on their goals, even in challenging situations."


Uijeongbu Mayor Wonki Kim commented, "Ohwook Lee’s warm-hearted support for youth is resonating deeply throughout the community. We will continue to strengthen various welfare initiatives and public-private partnerships to further cultivate a culture of sharing going forward."



The donation will be used for welfare projects supporting low-income youth in the Uijeongbu area.
