Actor Kim Dong Woo donated his talent to the Korea Disabled Foundation's public charity campaign to expand educational opportunities for children and adolescents with disabilities on the 20th, which is the Day of the Disabled.
This campaign was designed to support children with disabilities who face economic difficulties and lack of educational opportunities, and to help them learn and grow.
Kim Dong Woo said, "I am happy to be able to take part in this meaningful campaign ahead of the Day of Persons with Disabilities.
I think this campaign resonated with me more because I have been in close contact with people with disabilities since I was a child. I haven't done anything big, but I've been able to make small changes.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to cooperate wholeheartedly," he said. Kim Dong Wook has been steadily working to improve awareness of people with disabilities throughout his career as an actor.
During his university days, he played a visually impaired person in a short film, and through experiences such as riding the subway with his eyes closed, he experienced the daily life of a disabled person.
For the sign language performances of "Along with the Gods: Chapter 1: The Two Worlds" and "Along with the Gods: Chapter 2: The Two Worlds," he practiced for several months and moved an audience of 10 million people.
In addition, through various activities such as dubbing barrier-free films and serving as a PR ambassador for the Film Festival, she aims to draw out sympathy for people with disabilities.
Kim Dong Woo, who has quietly practiced giving by helping children in shelters and areas affected by disasters, is not only donating his talents to this campaign, but also financially.
Kim Dong Woo said, "There is no reason to have small dreams just because you have a disability. I feel sorry for the reality that many children have to give up on their dreams due to lack of educational opportunities and restrictions on their career paths."
"I hope that through this campaign, children will not give up and will grow up towards their dreams," he continued.
Last year, Kim Dong Wook appeared in the Disney Plus original series "Seoul Busters" and the short film "3
