The Korean Animal Welfare Association is to hold a star-studded party for its supporters on Nov. 25.

The event at ThinkCoffee in the Jongno area of Seoul will be attended by celebrities including Korean pop-star Lee Hyo-ri.

The former Fin.K.L singer turned solo artist has supported several KAWA campaigns to improve living conditions for animals both in Korea and abroad.

The animal rights organization will also be holding an awareness day on seal hunting this weekend.

Campaigners will be handing out information and speaking to shoppers in Seoul’s Myeong-dong area on Saturday to call for an end to Canada’s commercial harp seal hunt.

KAWA has been protesting against the practice of hunting seal pups for their fur in Canada, which happens from Nov. 15 to May 15. each year.
