While actress and singer Nam Gyu-ri is sweating over promoting Ciya's album and preparing for the nationwide tour 'The Fan', she has not forgotten to participate in volunteer activities.

On the 11th, Nam Gyu-ri visited 'Mannasam', a welfare facility for the homeless near Seoul Station, together with members of the Gangnam Central Baptist Church social service group 'HUG (HUG)', carrying out a meaningful volunteer activity.

This volunteer effort was organized to look after the health and hygiene of the homeless in preparation for the upcoming summer season and to provide them with warm meals. On this day, Nam Gyu-ri silently took on the tough chores of the shelter, including laundry, cleaning the restrooms, and washing dishes, and participated in food distribution with meals prepared with care. She also personally handed out hygiene products and summer preparedness supplies to all the homeless who visited the shelter, sharing her warm heart.

In particular, Nam Gyu-ri's down-to-earth and sincere actions, which have been part of her volunteer work with 'HUG' for two years, drew attention. After the volunteer work, Nam Gyu-ri sat side by side with the homeless at a table, shared a meal, and engaged in friendly conversation, creating a time of open communication without barriers.

A HUG official stated, "Nam Gyu-ri did not shy away from tough work and devoted her heart to volunteering, bringing great energy to the site." The official added, "Especially, she passionately sang Psy's 'A Place to Lean On' at the site, offering deep inspiration and comfort to those exhausted by their hard lives."

Nam Gyu-ri's sincere sharing is even more meaningful as it is not limited to a one-time event.

During the 20th anniversary event of 'Mannasam' held in September 2025, Nam Gyu-ri, who participated as a member of 'HUG', turned the site into a sea of tears with her song 'A Place to Lean On'. When the homeless repeatedly requested an encore, she responded with an a cappella version of Cool's 'I Love You' in a hoarse voice, evoking overwhelming emotion.

Regarding this, a HUG official added, "Even amidst a schedule that leaves no time to blink due to Ciya's full-group comeback activities and concert preparations, Nam Gyu-ri continues to care for the marginalized and spread positive influence. Her beautiful journey together with the volunteer group 'HUG' serves as an inspiration in this harsh world."
