'Sunday Sunday Night - DanBi', Headed to Sri Lanka to Aid Refugee Camps
As the first program from Korea to attempt this, the MBC ‘Sunday Sunday Night’ DanBi team will head to Sri Lanka, which ended its 26 year civil war earlier this year, and aid refugee camps.
During a phone call with Money Today Star News on the 14th, ‘Sunday Sunday Night’ Kim Young Hee PD said, “It is rare that one program holds negotiations with a nation’s government. But the Sri Lankan government has understood the ‘DanBi’ team’s good intentions, and it expressed its approval of us filming refugee camps which are hard for even war reporters to film.”
Kim PD said, “We’ll leave three weeks after the negotiations are finished” and also revealed, “This time, Nam Sang Mi will be going with us.”
He continued, “As we look around at the ravages of war, to the young children who have become child soldiers, we want to give them pencils and expose them to hopes and dreams. Of course we’ll take supplies for the people of these refugee camps, and we’ll most likely also take counselors to help deal with the mental suffering as well.”
The ‘DanBi’ team impressed people with their episodes on the 6th and 13th which showed them digging a well for people in Zambia who suffer from a lack of clean water. ON the ‘DanBi’ team, Kim Yong Man, Tak Jaehoon, An Youngmi, Kim Hyunchul, and BEAST’s Yoon Doojoon are the permanent MCs, and they are receiving attention for taking on projects which take them even outside the nation to find places which need their help.
