Actress Kim Hyo-jin Takes Message of Hope to Albanian Children

Source: englishnews@chosun.com

Actress Kim Hyo-jin's real-life role as a promotional ambassador for the evangelical charity World Vision has taken her to danger spots around the world. She has visited some of the poorest countries on the planet, such as Mongolia, Laos, and Uganda, and even found herself engaged in volunteering activities in Sudan last year amid a pitched gun battle.

However nothing prepared her for what she encountered in Albania, where the dire conditions had almost stripped local children of their will to live.

"When I was in Africa, I would hear children talk about their hopes. But the children here do not seem to cherish any dreams at all. I never imagined such a [miserable] place could exist in Europe," said Kim, who has been working with the charity since 2005.

A girl kisses Kim Hyo-jin at a residential area in Dibra, Albania, during the actress' visit to the country in her real-life role as an ambassador for the charitable organization World Vision.

She put on a brave face when she first met the Albanian children, but shed tears when she had to leave them. At this year's summer camp hosted by the charity organization in the eastern European country, Kim sought to plant the seeds of hope in some of the kid's minds.

"Amid such awful conditions, it seemed there was nothing I could do to make things better. But I saw the children become filled with hope after the camp," she said. "I'd like to help them so that more positive changes can take place [in their lives]."

Kim now sponsors a dozen children in Asia and Africa. When Haiti was struck by an earthquake last year, she and her boyfriend, actor Yoo Ji-tae, each donated W10 million to help the victims (US$1=W1,052).

Through World Vision, the only Korean non-governmental organization working in Albania, over 5,500 children have found sponsors, and another 1,500 are waiting for someone to help lift them out of their desperate situation.

Yoo Ji Tae & fiancée Kim Hyo Jin pose for Harper’s BAZAAR

Fashionista acting couple Yoo Ji Tae (best known for his role in Old Boy) and Kim Hyo Jin recently posed for Harper’s BAZAAR magazine.

The two who are engaged to marry at the end of this year and they gave readers a sneak peek at their engagement photos through their photo shoot.

This pictorial was all the more meaningful for the two, as they have been publicly dating for years, but this was the first photo shoot they have participated in as a couple. The two reportedly wanted to use their first and last photo shoot together as a non-married couple to properly capture their last moments before they officially become husband and wife.

The couple did not shoot a typical engagement photo shoot as they looked chic and modern, and used the shoot as an opportunity to express their unchanging feelings for one another.

Kim Hyo Jin was the envy of the staff members on set, as Yoo Ji Tae was being such a gentleman with his fiance, looking after her at every moment.

And even during his interview, Yoo Ji Tae just couldn’t stop gushing about his fiance. “I’m so blessed“, he said expressing his emotions. He continued, “I thought about this idea this morning when I saw her upon stepping into hair and makeup. Some couples say that they are compatible because they have similar interests, or that they make each other better people. But I just love knowing that this person is mine. I still love the way my heart flutters every time I see her.”

Kim Hyo Jin said, “Oppa is someone I can always learn so much from. He’s got such a warm and kind heart, and he’s been the first to show me what love is. Even to this day, when I see him, my heart responds to what my eyes see… Even after we’re married, I hope we can continue to get along as friends, as colleagues, and as lovers. I want to share everything we have with one another, be good to one another as husband and wife. I would also like for us both to continue to work hard at our careers.”

Ironically, the two actually met each for the first time at a photo shoot that took place 9 years ago and this was the first photo shoot they have participated together in since.

Yoo Ji Tae stated, “We did a photo shoot together a little after I graduated from Grad School. Whenever I had a rough day or I was feeling a bit down, I would always look at the photos from my photo shoot with her and get a warm feeling with encouragement. This is the first time in 9 years we’ve done this, and I hope that we do this once again 9 years from today.”

The wedding date is set for December 2nd, which also happens to be their dating anniversary date.

Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin’s wedding photos

Via Hankyung by javabeans dramabeans.com

Eee, these may be my favorite wedding photos ever. (Pre-wedding photos, to be specific.) I just love the old-fashioned dress and styling here; vintage wedding photos are my favorite.

Actors Yoo Ji-tae (Oldboy, A Star’s Lover) and Kim Hyo-jin (Mary Stayed Out All Night) have been dating for years and are all set to tie the knot this Friday, at Seoul’s Silla Hotel. The couple recently posed for a wedding-themed photo spread for Bazaar’s November issue, where they rocked a modern look with fashion-forward wedding-wear. I love that this set of photos goes completely in the direction, down to the lighting and the treatment of the image to look old and vintage. Fabulous.

The couple weds on December 2, and it’ll be a busy end of the year as the newlywed Yoo Ji-tae then takes on the filming of his directorial feature debut with Sansevieria, which will begin shooting in January.
