Former S.E.S. Member Sho Touched by Unexpected Support During Volunteer Work: 'I'm Receiving More Love'
Sho (real name Yoo Soo-young), a former member of the iconic K-pop group S.E.S., has garnered attention for her heartfelt experience during volunteer work at the 'Flower Garden' facility for workers with disabilities.
Recently, Sho shared on her social media, "I volunteer here once a month, and honestly, I go because I want to smile more!" She recalled a warm moment from last June, saying, "During the sweltering heat, I bought 100 ice creams and shared them with friends, and they greeted me by saying, 'Unnie, you're here again?'"
Furthermore, Sho was deeply moved when participants at the facility asked, "Unnie, can you release another album?!" and "Why aren't you on TV?" She witnessed them playing her songs and singing along, sharing, "I was really touched when people who didn't know who I was beforehand found my music and recognized me."
Currently, Sho is actively involved in various activities, including watering plants and sharing kimbap, at the 'Cheonan City Flower Garden,' a workplace for individuals with disabilities in Cheonan, Chungnam Province. She stated, "Through volunteering, I feel like I'm gaining more love and learning more," and vowed to "continue to approach with sincerity."
This volunteer effort is also being noted as a step in Sho's journey of comeback and personal growth following past controversies. Her positive influence and commitment to change are creating positive ripples not only in the entertainment industry but also within fan culture.
Netizens responded warmly, with comments like, "Sho unnie looks like she's smiling a lot and is really happy," "It's touching that she said she receives more than she gives through volunteering," and "It's good to see the person Sho, not just the idol Sho."
