Group 2PM member and actor Lee Jun-ho expressed his heart to the Ethiopian boy he has been supporting steadily in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of World Vision Ambassador.



On the 27th, World Vision unveiled the surprise party held in commemoration of Lee Jun-ho's 10th anniversary as a public relations ambassador through official SNS.



Junho Lee has been sponsoring children in Ethiopia since 2012 through World Vision, and has been active as a public relations ambassador for the abundant life of children in the global village with World Vision until recently.

World Vision said, "On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, we prepared a surprise event for Public Relations Ambassador Lee Jun-ho.



At the event, Lee Jun-ho came across a video letter from a sponsored child who became a lawyer after studying hard for 10 years with his help, and learned about the surprise event.

Lee Jun-ho said, "This is the first time I've ever had a surprise gift like this in my entire life." He said, "I was happy to be able to share the past 10 years with World Vision. So, it's a memory I can confidently say anywhere."



He then left a video letter to the sponsored child, saying, "I vividly remember all the times I had when I went to Ethiopia for the first time even without watching the video."



When he was told that he was the driving force behind the sponsored children's lives for the past 10 years, Lee Jun-ho said, "Don't forget that you have been a great source of strength and worth in my life. I hope that you are happier than anyone else. I hope that you too can become a driving force in other people's lives."



Also, music director Shin Bong-won, who accompanied Lee Jun-ho to Ethiopia 10 years ago, surprised him by making a surprise appearance at the event.

Music director Shin Bong-won explained the reason for joining the group by saying, "In the fall of 2011, Junho, who was mentally exhausted from work and activities, impulsively promised to do something meaningful and memorable for the rest of his life." I did.



He added, "Ten years have passed like that. I am very proud that a person named Junho Lee, who has many things to learn from, who never gets tired, challenges endlessly, and achieves his goals, is my friend."



Netizens responded such as "He's really cool", "I support Lee Junho", "He's always cool", and "He's so warm" to Lee Junho, who went beyond being a simple public relations ambassador and showed steady support.
