Meanwhile, Yoo Yeon Seok recently signed contracts with several films and is continuing to manage his busy schedule.

Earlier when I first read the news article it just gave me uneasy feeling when they just mentioned "Africa" without giving specific name of the country in that continent, but I didn't give it further thought.

And then I saw a few negative reactions through twitter and after being puzzled, I decided to read more on this matter and I'm glad that I learn about this issue more through this.

Judge me all you want but to be honest, before this, I don't give much thought on these kind of celebrity charity visits. ;___; What I though was rather simple: How heart warming it is to see those celebrities who were doing charity visits in the countries. Just that. But after reading more about this today, I learned more on it and it opened my eyes.

But I hope YYS will not be getting intense hate for this for I know he meant it well, but pretty much ignorant like how I was about this matter before this.

Aside from missionaries trying to force their religion down people's throats and the publicity angle, what's bad about celebs going for charity? I always see people mad or nhf news reports like this but never really understood why.
