[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Actor Won Bin and Lee Na-young, a married couple, will reduce the rent of their building by 50% for two months from March to April.

According to DongA.com, this act of kindness was prepared since February, before the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The couple's good deed reflects their intention to share the pain of tenants suffering economic difficulties due to COVID-19 and to coexist harmoniously.

Meanwhile, the "Good Landlord Movement" is a campaign where landlords voluntarily lower the rent of their buildings to support tenants struggling against COVID-19. The government supports landlords through a system that covers 50% of the reduced rent.

Earlier, Jun Ji-hyun announced the start of the entertainment industry's "Good Landlord Movement" by deciding to reduce the rent by 10% for two months from March to April for tenants in her building in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Singer Bi, known as the "Cheongdam-dong building owner," also joined the movement by delivering a notice to tenants stating that the rent for March would be reduced by 50%.
