Youngtak gets emotional in Uganda, Africa...The truth that was conveyed through JTBC's 'Hope Blues.'



Singer Young-tak is the first runner of JTBC and UNICEF to spread good influence.

Youngtak visited the Moroto region of Uganda in Africa in June to face the reality of child workers working in marble mines and children suffering from malnutrition. After spending the day laughing and talking with the children, he learned more from them"Please pay a lot of attention so that we don't lose hope," he said.

JTBC 'Hope Blues' is a broadcast that marks the first start of the 'Project Blue' series, highlighting the stories of Ugandan children who do not want to lose their dreams even in extreme environments.




Yeongtak's visit to Uganda will be broadcast on JTBC at 10:30 a.m. on August 24 under the title of Yeongtak's Hope Blues.

Meanwhile, in addition to this project, Youngtak has continued his sincere steps by serving as a public relations ambassador in various fields such as KORAIL, the Mongolian Tourism Agency, and the Korean Sports Council.
