Hallyu stars Bae Yong Joon and Kim Hyun Joong will participate in the charity event entitled ”Message! To Asia,” which is to be held as part of the “Smile Project” charity program, on December 14 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, their agency Keyeast stated on August 16.


A spokesperson for Keyeast added, “The profit from the charity event will be donated under the name of 'Smile Project,' and a specific program has not yet been decided, but the two people will actively participate in the event.”
Japanese star singer Gackt and Taiwanese actor Vanness Wu will also appear in the event.

The “Smile Project” has been hosted by Japanese DATV and it was originally designed to make a contribution to society by helping children, who will lead our future, to live everyday lives filled with smiles. Through the non-profit organization KnK (Kokkyo naki Kodomotachi, meaning "borderless children"), the donated money will be used to help underprivileged children in Cambodia and the Philippines.




The spokesperson continued, “Bae Yong Joon and Kim Hyun Joong willingly decided to take part in the project by considering that the project is a long term project to help children under difficult situations to smile again. Two people expressed the thought that they wish more smiles could be spread to more children, and that the children will be able to smile again with renewed hope in their lives through this event.”
