 I
have taken part in various programs
up until now but recently I
have started to decide on my
appearance based on two things.
That is if I am going to give
laughs or meaning to the viewers.
Of course, it would be thebest
to satisfy both. I¡¯d like to
participate in all kinds of
programs that want my appearance
but since there has been little
difficulties in my health, I
am currently appearing in just
two programs, ¡®On Sunday Night¡¯
and ¡®Imaginary Expedition¡¯
on MBC.
 It¡¯s
not that I have been especially
devoted to social services or
neighborly love but have been
just thinking about ¡®social
services¡¯ in my heart. I¡¯m
sure many people hold such a
thought in themselves as well.
Then, I have put such a thought
into practice through TV programs.
I have learned how to carry
out social services through
the programs.
 There
was a woman named ¡®Jaya¡¯ who
had come with her husband from
Mongolia but her husband passed
away while working in Korea.
However, she stood firm against
her misfortune and our program
arranged for her to meet her
young children in Mongolia.
Her two children were in 2nd
and 4th grade in elementary
school at the time but the younger
child felt somewhat awkward
because she had not known her
mother¡¯s face. Jaya came to
Korea right after giving birth
to her second child. How painful
it was when they met because
Jaya had left her infant child.
Such meeting was most heartbreaking.
 Such
words are too extravagant. Starvation
and calamities, although expressed
differently, still exist even
in Korea. I think these difficulties
occurring around the world are
misfortunes that could happen
not only to others but also
to anyone regardless of nationality.
The disaster of the ¡®tsunami¡¯
that occurred in the South Asia
in the beginning of the year
and the monstrous flood that
occurred two years consecutively
in Gangwon Province of Korea
are both heartbreaking events.
I just think people themselves
must become even stronger when
they encounter such circumstances.
 I
think there is no ¡®status¡¯
between people. However, status
of living may change in accordance
with one¡¯s effort. Starvation
and poverty from the differences
in the status of living can
be overcome with help from others.
Such a case requires sharing
and social services. However,
the method of sharing and social
service I think is somewhat
different. I have visited many
places in the world through
TV programs and have concluded
that what must be provided to
such needy people are fundamental
education and mental support,
even if what they need at the
time is financial support. Therefore,
I want to contribute by providing
this educational and mental
support to these people.
 I
have stated this above but material
support andaid end when these
dry up. Their attitude and effort
to stand strong on their own
based on such support are important.
I think that¡¯s the power of
education. Wouldn¡¯t a human
society in which everyone lives
together in harmony be built
when there is no shortage of
support or educational aid?
 I
want to make a lot of money
to spend on good deeds. Especially,
I want to build institutions
for infants or elders. I hope
to have a much bigger ¡®sharing
heart¡¯ for others than now.
I should try harder to accomplish
this, right?
 Isn¡¯t
it a debt that is not redeemable?
Volunteering oneself is not
a deed that is practiced to
receive something in return.
And, it could be a ¡®debt¡¯
from another¡¯spoint of view.
It is being indebted to someone
by either receiving material
or mental help. Of course, volunteers
don¡¯t think that way but¡¦I
think it is a debt that cannot
be redeemed or desired but carefree
even if it is not redeemable.
