[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Choi-hyunju] Actor Lim Won-hee donated 12,000 masks to Changwon City to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 27th, Lim, together with the UNICEF Gyeongnam Sponsorship Association, donated replaceable filter masks and 1,000 UNICEF Hope Kits for local children.

The city plans to distribute the masks received from Lim and others to 13 child welfare facilities and institutions, as well as 78 local children's centers, and the UNICEF Hope Kits will be given to 1,000 children from multicultural families.
