Stars gifted smiles to the elderly with 'a lively song' instead of 'a warm meal.'
On the 15th, at the Goejeong Gateball Field in Sangok-dong, Jecheon City, Chungbuk Province, 'The Purples Celebrity Charity Golf Team' held a celebration for the elderly, inviting over 50 local residents.
The event was hosted by actor Lee Jeong-yong, famous for the KBS segment 'My Hometown at 6.'
On stage, actor Lee Jong-won, who played the role of Dan-dan's father in the KBS weekend drama 'Gentleman and Lady,' along with actress Jo Eun-sook, trot rookie Eunsuhyung, and Kim Beom-chan from Ulala Session, spent a joyful time with the elderly. The charity golf team's goodwill did not end at the event. After the event, they visited the Jinwoo-gol Senior Center in Gangje-dong, Jecheon City, Chungbuk Province, and personally donated a karaoke machine, adding warmth to the occasion.
It was not just a simple stage, but 'a song' that awakened the memories of the elderly, filling the village.
Led by Kim Hyun-joong, the representative of the upscale marriage information company Purples, 'The Purples Celebrity Charity Golf Team' announced, "We will continue our activities to donate one karaoke machine each month to senior centers across the country that do not have karaoke machines."
Meanwhile, 'The Purples Celebrity Charity Golf Team' will hold the 1st Celebrity Charity Golf Tournament at Libera CC in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, on September 1. All proceeds from the tournament, which will have a total of 184 participants, will be used to sponsor karaoke machines.
