Singer Byul Sponsors Five Children Through Compassion: "I Want to Share My Family's Happiness"

Singer Byul shared the reason behind her decision to sponsor as many children as the number of members in her family through Compassion.

In an interview with the international child sponsorship organization Compassion, Byul shared that regular sponsorship through Compassion was her first experience. She explained that she was deeply moved after accidentally watching an episode of "A Story of Living for Christ" featuring Baek Z Young at home, which told the story of sponsoring children.

"As a mother raising children myself, my heart was moved deeply," she said. "That very day, I went straight to the Compassion website and began sponsoring five children, matching the number of people in our family. I wanted to share our family's happiness with those five children as well." She added, "Although it hasn't been long since I started sponsoring, I am feeling a great sense of joy."

Byul married singer and entertainer HAHA in 2012, and the couple has three children. After knowing each other as older brother and younger sister for over a decade, they developed into a romantic relationship sparked by a text message HAHA sent to Byul saying, "We are at the age to get married now."

Byul revealed, "On the way back from visiting my father, who was battling a long illness, HAHA said, 'It is an honor to become a part of this family.' That single remark offered great comfort by understanding the time our family had endured, and at that very moment, I decided to marry him."

The interview video, featuring various stories ranging from Byul's debut and marriage to her sponsorship, is available on the official Korea Compassion YouTube channel.
