Lee Min-Ho's heart is really set into helping others and encourages others to do the same. In an interview with the Inquirer, he said, "My goal is to change perception about giving money for charity. A lot of people still think that this is only for the rich. I used to think like this, but this isn't true. Begin by donating the smallest amount you can afford. You'll soon realize how easy it is to support worthy causes."

From donating to a primary school in Guangzhou, China to participating in Cheil Worldwide Charity's fundraising bazaar, he has definitely been making rounds to promote kindness.
With those being said, Lee Min-Ho is giving his fans around the world more reasons to love him and emulate his good deeds.
