Korean actress Kim Hyun-joo on Monday flew to join aid workers in Nepal bringing relief to victims suffering from the earthquake that struck the country late last month.
Kim joins the cause through Good Neighbors, an international humanitarian organization, for which she is currently an ambassador. She is the only celebrity to
fly to Nepal with the aid organization.
The actress plans to aid humanitarian efforts in Nepal for seven to 10 days, focusing on the Gorkha District.
A staff member at Good Neighbors on Sunday told Yonhap News Agency, "Kim Hyun-joo expressed an interest in flying to the region as soon as (she heard about) the earthquake."
Kim reportedly took time to adjust her schedule before flying to Nepal.
The actress will join aid workers from Good Neighbors in Nepal, where she will help medical care and packing and distributing life-saving supplies. She will also report on the condition of children supported by Good Neighbors.
Previously, the actress donated an unspecified sum to help victims of the earthquake through Good Neighbors.
