Singer and musical actor Kim Junsu, who is currently participating in the musical “Tears of Heaven” where he would be embroiled in a love fate relationship with a girl, has recently partaken in a charity drive event for the African children.
Kim Junsu has been active as a member (Xiah Junsu) of the group TVXQ that is under the company SM Entertainment and is currently involved in another group JYJ.
According to a staff on the 19th of January 2011, Kim Junsu has helped Jirani Choir from Kenya, Africa.
Jirani Choir was set up for the children from the only music school (Jirani Arts School) in Goreugochyo village that is located in Kenya, Africa. Goreugochyo village has been labeled as a ‘garbage village’ where a daily meal cannot even be guaranteed for the villagers.
Kim Junsu expressed his thoughts, “I gained energy from songs and music”, ” ‘Jirani Choir’ is the only place where the African children can learn about music in such a tough situation. The children in there will be able to seek hope and gain happiness, thus I would want to help them even if it’s insignificant amount.” He also shown his concerns, “I hoped they will become someone who is able to bring happiness and hope to everyone through music in the future.”
Anyone can join Kim Junsu in helping the Jirani Choir by donating your own Happybean though Kim Junsu’s link (http://happybean.nav...yEnergyView.nhn) Each donation of a Happybean equates to 100 won, which will then be given to Jirani Choir.
The staff from the musical will be giving out “Tears of Heaven” tickets through a lucky draw to the netizens who donated their Happybean. Netizens who joined the donation drive will also be receiving the most anticipated special chance of 2011.
Not only actor Kim Junsu, the production team of “Tears of Heaven” also participated in this donation drive event.
The production team has been revealing through a blog about the production process of the musical and behind-the-scenes stories. Production staff said, “This is for netizens who has never seen a musical before, to have a chance to get in touch with a musical and to also provide a chance for those who would like to work in the musical field.”
Additionally it will be holding an audition for those who has the ambition to become a musical actor.
The donation that will be collected through the musical will be used to build classrooms for children in Vietnam.
