Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Lim Chaecheong) announced on the 7th that actress Lee Hyeyoung and broadcaster Lee Seungyun, both members of the association's high-value donor group "Hope Bridge Honors Club," each received the Minister of Health and Welfare Commendation at the 2025 Korea Sharing National Awards.

Lee Hyeyoung is a leading advocate of sharing, known for being among the first to donate whenever a disaster occurs. Since the 2019 Gangwon wildfire, she has donated a total of approximately 180 million won to date, consistently extending a positive influence through her continued acts of generosity for neighbors struggling due to disaster damage.

As a "Hope Ambassador" for Hope Bridge, Lee Seungyun has taken the lead in spreading the culture of sharing by donating whenever disasters occur both domestically and abroad. He has contributed relief funds during disasters such as wildfires, floods, and earthquakes, and even visited the site of the earthquake in T?rkiye to participate in volunteer activities. To date, his cumulative donations to Hope Bridge have reached approximately 130 million won.

Lee Hyeyoung said, "Whenever I see neighbors suffering from disasters, my heart moves before anything else," adding, "I am honored and grateful that my sharing, which began from that feeling, has led to this award. I will continue to extend warmth to those in need."

Lee Seungyun stated, "I believe sharing is another way to return the love I have received," and added, "With this award as an opportunity, I hope to take the lead in sharing hope with even more people." He continued, "I hope many others will also experience the warmth that sharing brings."

Shin Hoon, Secretary General of Hope Bridge, said, "I sincerely congratulate both individuals for being recognized for their contributions through this award, as they have consistently helped neighbors recover from disasters through donations and have personally demonstrated the value of sharing. Hope Bridge will continue to stand as a strong partner for disaster-affected neighbors, together with those who share the spirit of giving."
