International medical help NGO Operation Smile announced that the profits made from the Italian luxury brand FENDI and actress Ha Ji-won's Peekaboo Bag Auction will be used to help those children with facial deformation.

FENDI's third Peekaboo Project in Korea was collaborated with fashion stars Ha Ji-won, Ko So-young and Kim Yuna, the figure skating queen.

Ha Ji-won is the first Asian woman and the second Asian to be a part of Operation Smile and she designed her bag from the inspiration she received from a song which has the lyrics of her life in it.

As the promotional ambassador for Operation Smile, she's been doing good deeds for those with facial deformation since the 2014 Vietnam surgical visit.

Operation Smile officials say, "The profits from the meaningful charity that Ha Ji-won is putting on right now is being used to help children who suffer from facial deformation".

Meanwhile, Operation Smile is an association active in 60 or so countries with 5,400 volunteer workers all over the world. The non-profit organization was established in Korea in 2012.
