According to the UNICEF Korea Committee, the money donated by Winter will be used entirely for children living in conflict and disaster areas. The support will help fund physical and psychological care, nutrition, health services, and other resources needed for healthy development. Oftentimes, children in these situations face unstable living conditions and limited access to basic care.
“I wanted to give back the great love I have received from my fans to the world. I hope all children everywhere can keep their dreams, go to school, and enjoy a normal daily life, no matter their circumstances,” Winter shared.
Meanwhile, her donation to Samsung Medical Center will be used to support treatment and rehabilitation for patients who are struggling financially. Winter also shared a message following her contributions, saying she hopes the gesture could help people going through difficult times and support their recovery.
“I hope this can be of even a little help in the treatment and recovery of patients who are going through financial difficulties. I will be sincerely cheering them on so that they can regain a healthy, everyday life.”
