Namgil Kim's Charity Show Gives 'A Reliable Day' to Youth in Crisis

8,000 Audience Members Gathered Through Fellow Actors' Talent Donations
Providing Meals, Travel, and Education to Children and Adolescents in Crisis

Namgil Kim, CEO of Gilstory

The culture and arts NGO Gilstory announced on September 30 that it is currently running the 'A Reliable Day' campaign using proceeds from last year's 'SMG SHOW-Ujuchoe-gang Show.' This program provides meals, travel opportunities, and educational support to children and adolescents in crisis. Gilstory is collaborating with small local organizations to create a sustainable support model.

Gilstory is sponsoring cultural and arts education, as well as self-reliance and career training, for out-of-school youth at 'Jakgong,' an alternative educational institution in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul. In August, the organization supported a trip to Cheorwon, Gangwon Province, and is planning trips to Jeju Island in October and Laos in November. At 'Cheonggaeguri Restaurant,' a youth late-night diner in Bucheon, Gilstory provided meals to children and adolescents in May and hosted a cultural and arts experience event.

The funds were raised from the proceeds of the '2024 SMG SHOW-Ujuchoe-gang Show,' held at Kyung Hee University's Grand Peace Hall on December 7-8 last year. Twenty-six actors, including Yoo Haejin, Cha Seungwon, and Ju Jihoon, performed on stage as a talent donation, and approximately 8,000 audience members attended over the two days. This year, the event will take place at Ewha Womans University Grand Auditorium on November 29.
