2NE’1’s Dara gathered with some YG Entertainment actors (including Jung Hye Young, Cha Seung Won, Lee Sung Kyung, Lee Yong Woo and even the little Kal So Won) for a charity campaign photo shoot for Elle.
Aside from taking the photos, they also gave interviews revealing their thoughts on charity and people who need help around the world.
Dara talked about the necessity of charity campaigns and how she does charity for herself, saying, “It′s not something big and something that doesn′t need to be big. I realized that sharing even just a little is easier to carry out. For me, I usually have a lot of stage costumes, so I participate in a lot of charity bazaars. Maybe it′s because I raise cats, but whenever I see stray cats and other animals that are injured on the street, I take them to the hospital for treatment. I also donate tickets to people who want to come to concerts but can′t come due to their situations. It′s not much, but I think these are little things I can do.”
Cha Seung Won, who is set to hold a talk concert in December, said, “It′s a concert to raise money for people struggling in Tanzania. As it had a good aim, I gladly joined. There′s no reason why it would be hard. It′s amazing that we′re easily able to help those who struggle with basic necessities.”
Known for her family′s donations, Jung Hye Young talked about how she started to do charity, “On the first morning after getting married, my husband said to me, ′We started our happy married life with a happy wedding. What do you think about not holding onto that happiness for ourselves. and instead open up our hands and share with our neighbors and receive bigger happiness? Let′s start collecting 10,000 won a day for our neighbors.′ And that′s how we started saving 10,000 won a day and donating 3,650,000 won every year to ′Baffor′ and volunteering. I felt that we shared a small thing, but received much more happiness in return.”
Lee Yong Woo also talked about how he started,“At the beginning of the year, I was really sick that I couldn′t even move. I couldn′t exercise and I gained a lot of weight because I was just lying in bed. When the Sewol tragedy happened, I had a lot of thoughts. I realized what a huge blessing it was to be abe to move as I wanted. I started pondering about what kind of things I could do, especially for students. I want to give much help to people in the way I can do best.”
Lee Sung Kyung mentioned that she wants to raise charity money by selling fashion items that she created, and also said, “I want to donate the profits made from it. I′m looking to ask people around me for artistic help, which will, of course, be a donation of talent.”
At last, but not least, YG’s cute child actress Kal So Won said that she wants to do more to help people when she grows up, “When that time comes, I want to help grandmothers and grandfathers more than now.”
It’s cool to see that no matter how fortunate some artists are, they still have a big heart and are willing to help others. This photo shoot was really something to be remembered and we hope it inspires other people to get involved with charity as well. The full pictorial will be released on the December issue of Elle.
