Comedienne Jo Hye-ryun has shared heartwarming updates, introducing two children she met in Africa as her 'sons born in her heart'.

On the 20th, Jo Hye-ryun posted a lengthy message on her social media, recalling her visit to Kenya as a World Vision ambassador a year and a half ago. She met Daniel and Morris, who were living difficult lives, resorting to making charcoal for meals after their mother passed away.

The photos shared showed the two children, Daniel and Morris, as she first met them, and then looking much older and attending school. Jo Hye-ryun explained, "Seeing the children walking barefoot without shoes and living in someone else's barn due to lack of shelter broke my heart. Ultimately, after discussing with my husband, we decided to adopt the two children as our sons."

Regarding the recent bright update photos of the children received through World Vision, she expressed her sincere feelings, saying, "It's so rewarding to see them now attending school and living wonderfully. Our small act of sharing can change a person's life."

Jo Hye-ryun also mentioned the song 'Dream', personally composed by her husband in Kenya, and expressed her affection by saying, "Daniel and Morris, I promise to see you again soon. Stay healthy and well until then. I love you."

Netizens have flooded Jo Hye-ryun's social media with supportive comments. Many expressed admiration for her generosity, with reactions like, "This is truly amazing," "It's tear-jerking to see the two children growing up brightly thanks to you," and "We will continue to support your acts of sharing."
