The Work Together Foundation’s Popcorn Day opened at COEX in Samsung-dong on April 11th.
Millennium Square was filled with the tasty smell of popcorn early in the morning, drawing people to the Popcorn information desk.


Fun performances, magic balloons, various events organized by Kantapia (Baekseok University’s recreation volunteering group), and citizen participation led 270 people to join the WT Foundation’s ‘Popcorn Day.’
 
 
02. Let’s check out the WT Foundation’s successful Popcorn Day.

Money raised from the sale of T-shirts designed by Sean (a famous Korean singer) will be donated to charity. Foreign tourists also bought the pretty T-shirts as gifts.

 

It seemed like they were dancing without music, as the volume was low and the location was wide open and noisy. But they only felt shy for a moment! Cheered on by the crowd, they danced happily.

 

 

Hope Popcorn KWON, Soo-yoen (18/ Senior at Haeseong International Convention High School) volunteered for Popcorn Day and spread information about ‘Popcorn’ to passers-by.

 

 

 

There were long lines of enthusiastic people hoping to receive some information about ‘Popcorn’.


 


 

Join ‘Popcorn’ while you are waiting for your popcorn...


 

A popcorn machine produced free popcorn for the ‘Popcorn’ publicity campaign all day long, filling the air with the tasty smell of popcorn.


 

Even though Popcorn Day is done, Popcorn’s activities to help neglected neighbors will continue to spread out with the tasty smell of popcorn.
