Actor Ryu Seung-Ryong Lends His Voice To Support Neighbors in Need
Actor Ryu Seung-ryong is once again in the spotlight for both his acclaimed performances and his commitment to social causes. He recently earned praise for his relatable role in JTBC’s “The Dream Life of Mr. Kim” and Best Actor at the Asia Contents Awards for his powerful performance in the Disney+ series “Moving” in 2013, reaffirming his reputation as one of Korea’s most respected actors.
Now, Ryu is returning to a cause close to his heart. Nearly two decades after first appearing in the “Sharing Brings Happiness” campaign, Ryu is reuniting with the Community Chest of Korea to support its latest initiative ? this time as a narrator. Instead of appearing on camera, he lends his warm, reassuring voice to tell real-life stories of individuals facing hardships.
The campaign will air on JTBC for five weeks starting Nov. 3, focusing on social challenges such as supporting children from low-income families, helping isolated adults, and creating jobs for people with developmental disabilities. It will also feature digital projects designed to assist small businesses and vulnerable communities. According to organizers, Ryu’s calm and sincere narration adds depth and hope to each story, helping audiences feel a deeper emotional connection to the campaign’s message.
