[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk donated 50 million won to support sanitary pads for low-income female adolescents.

According to G Foundation, the donation from Yoo Jae-suk will be used to produce sanitary pad kits and distribute them to low-income female adolescents. The sanitary pad kits are expected to include a six-month supply of sanitary pads, feminine cleansers, pouches, and handwritten letters with encouraging messages.
