JAKARTA - Today, Wednesday, June 9, Hyeri from the Girl's Day group officially turns 27. To celebrate her new age, Hyeri made a donation to the UNICEF organization.

Hyeri is said to have donated 50 million won or the equivalent of Rp. 639 million for the We=She campaign from UNICEF which focuses on providing hygienic products for teenage girls.

"I know that there are many women around the world who have difficulty during menstruation because they don't have hygienic products or face discrimination and getting sick because menstruation is often considered dirty," Hyeri told the Herald Pop.

Hyeri feels sad because she also heard that there are many girls who don't go to school because there are no separate bathrooms for boys and girls.

“I hope this is a bit of support so that all young girls can grow up happily in a safe environment.”

Hyeri's donation was warmly welcomed by the Korea UNICEF Committee, Lee Ki Chul. “Hyeri gave a present for her birthday. Even though she's the youngest member of the Honors Club, Hyeri's kind heart who cares about her surroundings is vast and deep compared to anyone else."

Hyeri was named the youngest member of the UNICEF Honors Club after donating 100 million won in 2019 to the Schools for Asia campaign. The Honors Club is dedicated to donors who have donated more than 100 million to UNICEF Korea.

Meanwhile, Hyeri is starring in My Roommate is a Gumiho which airs on tvN and iQIYi.
