“There was an image of a cow so starved that it only had the strength to lie down and lick the dirty floor. It broke my heart. Isn’t there some kind of action we could take so that the farmer can live and the cow at least not starve to death?”

Hearing that you went and offered your time and effort makes me feel really good. Next time, let’s go together unni~^^.”
Harisu recently visited an animal shelter in Kyunggi-do with her family to do some volunteer work and donated food for the dogs. She had revealed this via her personal blog, and wrote that she was determined to do as much as she could to help protect abandoned animals.
Responding to Hyori’s tweet, Harisu wrote back, “Hyori, it’s been awhile ^^ Good to talk to you~ How is everything going? You look prettier than ever ^^ heh I never really use my Twitter.

It’s cold out these days, so take care of yourself~^^”

Gary then added, “But soju’s too bitter for me.” Lee Hyori then sensibly replied to Gary, “Shake it. It becomes smooth” and drew the attention of the netizens.
