Actor Kim Dong-wook will donate his talent to a public service campaign to expand educational opportunities for children and youth with disabilities on the 20th, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

The Korea Disabled People’s Foundation campaign was planned to support disabled children who face economic difficulties and lack educational opportunities and to support their learning and growth.

Kim Dong-wook said, “I’m happy to be able to participate in such a meaningful campaign,” and added, “I’ve been in close contact with people with disabilities since I was young, so I think this campaign touched my heart even more.I didn’t do anything big, but I’m grateful that I was able to contribute in a small way.”

Kim Dong-wook has been working hard to improve awareness of the disabled.

During his college years, he played a visually impaired person in a short film and experienced the daily lives of the disabled through experiences such as riding the subway with his eyes closed.Later, in the movie “Along with the Gods,” he practiced for months to act in sign language and moved 10 million viewers.

In addition, we have been working to raise awareness of disabilities through various activities such as dubbing barrier-free films and serving as a film festival ambassador.

Kim Dong-wook, who has quietly practiced sharing by supporting children in shelters and helping disaster-stricken areas, expressed his heart through direct donations as well as talent donations for this campaign.
