Actor Lim Chae-moo (77) is embarking on a new companionship to create a happy life for people with developmental disabilities.

On the 6th, Down Welfare Center signed a memorandum of understanding with Duri Land and officially appointed Lim Chae-mu (CEO) as its public ambassador.

This agreement was established with the aim of expanding cultural and leisure participation opportunities for people with developmental disabilities and building an inclusive society where people with and without disabilities naturally coexist.

Lim Chae-mu (CEO) plans to continue promotional activities aimed at improving disability awareness, participating in various social contribution campaigns, and expanding the rights of people with disabilities and their access to culture.

Shin Myeong-jin, director of Down Welfare Center, stated, "The happiness of people with disabilities must be created together by the entire local community," adding, "Alongside Ambassador Lim Chae-moo, we will convey hope and warm attention to more people."

Lim Chae-mu (CEO) shared his positive influence by saying, "If Duri Land was a place that gave dreams to children, I want to be part of spreading hope to people with developmental disabilities moving forward," and added, "I will contribute to building a society where everyone can laugh together beyond the boundaries between disability and non-disability."

Down Welfare Center plans to lead the expansion of inclusive culture by expanding various collaborative projects involving culture, welfare, and the local community through this agreement.

Lim Chae-moo opened Duri Land in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, in 1989 using his own funds, operating it on a free-of-charge basis across an area of approximately 3,000 pyeong. The facility closed in 2017 due to financial difficulties but reopened in 2020. Last year, Lim Chae-moo sparked discussion when he revealed on KBS 2TV's "The Boss Has Donkey Ears" that operating Duri Land had led to debts of up to 19 billion won, with monthly loan interest alone amounting to 80 million won and electricity bills reaching 30 million won.
