Accordingly, Yongdang 1-dong selected six households, including low-income children from multicultural families and young adults suffering from huge medical expenses, and delivered the sponsorship funds.

Sponsor Munsang-geun said, "Sometimes when I watch the TV program called Donghaeng, I often shed tears seeing children struggling to live," and added, "My wife and I agreed to use the sponsorship funds for the children in difficulty in Yongdang 1-dong, so we decided to donate."

He also said, "I hope they do not lose hope and raise their young children well," and "I hope this occasion today becomes a small stepping stone for a family."

Kim Dong-seon, head of Yongdang 1-dong, expressed deep gratitude to the elderly couple Munsang-geun for lighting the torch of love in these difficult times, and said, "The donated funds will be meaningfully used for deposit for relocating from poor housing, children's education expenses, and children's medical expenses."
