Lee Soo Man donates $100,000 USD to the Centre Culturel Coréen

On July 22nd, the Korean Culture and Information Service of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism revealed that SM Entertainment’s producer, Lee Soo Man, had donated a total of $100,000 USD to the Le Centre Culturel Coréen.  Le Centre Culturel Coréen was established in 1980 to raise awareness of Korean culture to the French public and to promote and develop artistic exchanges between Korea and France.
Lee was previously chosen as the promotional advertisement model for KB, an investment security company, and recently finished up his filming with the brand.  With the income earned from the CF, Lee gave a portion of it to the celebrities in his agency, as an act of encouragement, and donated the rest to Le Centre Culturel Coréen.
Lee said, “The ‘SM Town Live‘ concerts held for two days in June garnered great success and raised awareness for not only the music of our artists, but for Korean culture overall in Europe.  I decided to donate to the organization to further aid and support their efforts in spreading Korean culture in Europe.”
A representative of the the Korean Culture and Information Service said, “Lee’s donation will go through evaluation by the donation committee to make use of its full purpose.”
