As clowns have emerged as a viral trend online, comedian Lee Yong-ju, who actually has a background as a professional clown, is drawing attention by revealing his active clowning activities.

Recently, Lee shared photos of himself dressed up and in costume as a professional clown on his social media. In line with this, ChildFund Korea, a child welfare organization that collaborates with Psik Univ, released a video on its official YouTube channel on the 20th titled "Authentic Clown Lee Yong-ju's Clown Return."

The video shows Lee actually dressed up as a clown and standing in front of children in Bangladesh.

Previously, he quickly blew up various balloons into shapes in front of the Bangladeshi children, drawing cheers and screams from them at the same time. He showed his confidence by saying, "Didn't I tell you? I used to be a clown," adding, "Honestly, I haven't even started yet."

In the past, Lee also shared a bittersweet sentiment with children in Rwanda, saying, "I worked part-time as a clown for about two years 10 years ago, and honestly, it didn't help me become a comedian at all. Time has passed, and now I'm doing it in Rwanda."

This video is part of the content for the "Following Friends to Africa" campaign run by ChildFund Korea. The YouTube channel "Psik Univ," featuring members including Lee Yong-ju, Jung Jae-hyung, and Kim Min-su, participated in good deeds by donating 10 million won to ChildFund Korea to support early childhood education overseas.
