Kim Hye-ja returns to Africa after 34 years... The reality of girls 'sold instead of livestock'

From disaster sites to the safety of rural homes! People who alleviate the dangers of their neighbors

On the SBS program 'The Most Beautiful Journey in the World', which airs on Monday the 19th at 10:30 AM, the activities of the Nonsan Disaster Relief Specialist Volunteer Group, who look after the safety of neighbors, and the 34-year sharing journey of actress Kim Hye-ja will be followed.

There are people who examine not only various disaster sites but also the dangers of aging rural homes. They are the Nonsan Disaster Relief Specialist Volunteer Group. Every third Sunday of the month, the Nonsan Disaster Relief Specialist Volunteer Group visits the homes of local seniors through the 'Hyo-ja-son (Filial Son) Project.' Like a 'Hyo-ja-son' (backscratcher) that scratches an itchy spot, members with professional qualifications inspect old electrical wires and electrical facilities and repair them directly. The volunteer group's activities do not stop in Nonsan. When disasters occur in other regions, they rush to the scene to lend strength to relief efforts. The program introduces the activities of the Nonsan Disaster Relief Specialist Volunteer Group, who alleviate the dangers of their neighbors with the skills they possess.

Starting with Ethiopia in 1992, Kim Hye-ja, who has personally visited numerous relief sites to inform the world of children's pain, has set foot on African soil again. There, Kim Hye-ja encounters girls who are driven into unwanted marriages to save their families. Children scheduled for marriage were wearing necklace-like shackles and enduring housework and hard labor all day long. Along with actress Kim Hye-ja, who has stood by the children for a long time, the program conveys the tragic reality of girls being sold instead of livestock amidst the evil custom of child marriage.

Detailed stories can be found on Monday, October 19th at 10:30 AM through SBS 'The Most Beautiful Journey in the World'.
