'The Most Beautiful Journey in the World' shines a light on the daughter of a Korean War veteran.

In the SBS current affairs and documentary program 'The Most Beautiful Journey in the World,' to be aired on the morning of the 24th, stories will be featured about the Golden Hand Volunteer Group, which repairs broken umbrellas free of charge, and the heartbreaking tales of Korean War veterans and their descendants who are struggling with poverty as a result of their participation in the war.

It is estimated that more than 40 million discarded umbrellas are thrown away annually in Korea. Due to the nature of umbrellas, which are made from various materials such as fabric, metal, and plastic, they often cannot be recycled and are simply disposed of. There are people who bring these umbrellas back to life even if just one part is broken. They are the Golden Hand Volunteer Group. In just three years of repairing umbrellas for residents of Seodaemun-gu free of charge, they have restored over 5,000 discarded umbrellas to usable condition. We meet the Golden Hand Volunteer Group, which is realizing resource circulation through volunteer activities.

In Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, there are descendants of veterans wandering aimlessly. Ms. Kongjit Aklilu's father was a member of the Kangnyu Unit, which fought in the Korean War as part of Ethiopia's elite forces. Although her father survived the battlefield where bullets rained down, it was not war that ultimately led to his death.

He was killed by gunfire from government troops after a communist regime took hold in Ethiopia. Ms. Kongjit had no choice but to accept her father's death before she was even born, and she fell into endless poverty. When her home was forcibly demolished as part of urban reconstruction projects, all she was left with were two bags. She ended up moving from one acquaintance's house to another every other day without receiving any compensation. We introduce the heartbreaking stories of veterans' descendants hidden behind their glorious achievements.

'The Most Beautiful Journey in the World' will be broadcast at 10:30 a.m. on the 24th.
