K-pop boy group 2PM's member JUNHO reunited with his "brother from another mother".

On November 3, JUNHO participated in a charity marathon '2018 Global 6K for Water' at Han River Park, Seoul.

JUNHO appeared at the starting point wearing a shirt with a photo of Felmeta, the Ethiopian boy he has been sponsoring since 2010.

JUNHO, Felmeta, and many more participants of the event ran 6km―the average distance African children walk every day to obtain water.

JUNHO said, "I was so touched to see how Felmeta has grown up over time. I hope many people to participate in the donation that aims to gift clean water to children in Africa."

Meanwhile, JUNHO is in talks to make his small screen comeback with tvN's new drama 'Confession' (literal title).
