Jackie Brings the Gift of Hope to Tongyeong, South Korea


On May 21, Jackie was in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province in South Korea, bringing hope and friendship to children from single-parent homes and orphanages. He spent the day playing with over one hundred children, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone in the gymnasium.

In 2005, Jackie visited Tongyeong while on a publicity tour for The Myth. While there, he donated thousands of dollars worth of computer equipment and warm clothing. He promised that he would return to Tongyeong and although it's taken almost four years, he kept his promise.

Jackie was joined by the popular South Korean boy band Super Junior and other celebrities. They will spend another day with the children; taking part in games and environmental activities.
