The couple Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra will appear as messengers of hope to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the human documentary ‘Companion’.

The 500th special episode of KBS 1TV‘s human documentary ‘Companion’, which will air at 6 PM on Saturday the 5th, will feature the special appearance of representative star couple actors Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra, who have been spreading good influence through various sharing activities and consistent volunteer work for a long time.

The two, who have always been at the forefront of various sharing activities and volunteer work, have not spared their support for children in need both domestically and internationally, based on their interest in adoption and child welfare. Here, to mark the 500th episode of ‘Companionship’, Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra will personally visit a child’s home to hear his story and deliver a message of encouragement to those in need of a helping hand.

The main characters they will meet are Min-seok (12 years old), a ‘turtle boy’, and his grandmother (75 years old) who are having a hard time living in a grandparent-headed household. After hearing Min-seok‘s story, Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra visit Min-seok’s house in person and gift him a warm day. The two spend meaningful time with Min-seok, who loves trains.

In addition to listening to the grandmother‘s story and offering warm comfort, they also treat Min-seok to a meal and even give him a personalized gift to cheer him on as his dream is to become an automobile maker, making us look forward to their meeting even more.

Shin Ae-ra said, “There are still many struggling neighbors who are in a situation where they can never stand up on their own unless someone holds their hand. He said, “I hope that the situation of such marginalized neighbors will be known through the program ‘Donghaeng’ and that we can join hands together.” Cha In-pyo also said, “The world is never about living alone, but about going together. I hope we can live together.”

The 500th special episode, which will air on Saturday, April 5 at 6 PM, will deliver empathy and comfort through the current status of families that have changed through ‘Donghaeng’ as well as the stories of those who do not give up hope even in difficult situations.
