Presentation ceremony for Nepal support by Mr. Bae Yong Joon and Megane Top


On 14th December, Mr. Bae Yong Joon’s managing company BOF International organized "Christmas with Family -although we may be far away in distance-" at Yokohama Arena.
The Arena was filled with 12,000 Mr. Bae Yong Joon’s fans in full excitement.

On stage, there was presentation ceremony for Megane Top and BOF International’s charity project, "Smile Project."
There was a big applause from the audience, when Mr. Manabu Nokata, Executive Director of Megane Top read out the inventory.
This time donated funds will be used to support vaccination activities for Central Region, Makwanpur and Western Region, Banke.
With support from so many people, necessary amount of fund was raised much faster than expected.
(tomato: Megane Top is the parent company of Megane Ichiba.
first project has collected more than 10million yen, which is the amount needed for vaccination activity.)


"I wish" series eyeglasses will be sold till end of December 2008.
From now on, we will be supporting school construction project in Nepal, which we will build and repair 5 schools (15 classrooms) in Central Region, Bara.
This new project will enable 4,794pupils to receive school education at safe and pleasant classrooms.

Dear family, annyong　hasaeyo.
This is Yang Geun Hwan.

Did you all enjoy Bae Yong Joon’s surprise live broadcast at the concert?

As we were getting ready for the satellite broadcasting, Bae Yong Joon and I were getting excited and looking forward to meeting all family after a long time.
I was really happy to see everyone’s faces filled with enjoyment. ^^

Korea and Japan, although we may be at different places, we think we are always together with family.
I hope your feelings are the same.

And through this concert, I think we were able to realize warmth and sadness that we are always in our hearts even though we are far away in distance.

We were able to spend such emotional and happy time, thanks to all family who are always with us.
I sincerely send my appreciation.

We have already sent early Christmas message at the concert, but again,
I hope everyone create memorable plans and spend happy time at Christmas in few days.
