Actor Kang Seok-woo opened up about the challenges he faces as a father to two children.

Recently, the international child sponsorship organization Compassion released an interview video featuring actor Kang Seok-woo titled "A World Lived in Christ" (hereinafter referred to as "A World Lived in Christ").

In this interview, Kang candidly shared his journey as an actor, his thoughts on raising children, and his family's experience of continuing to sponsor children.

Kang Seok-woo, who debuted in the 1978 film "Yeosu" and was loved as a pioneering youth star, recalled anecdotes about the intense attention he received from fans at the time and reflected on his career path. He then candidly shared the parental concerns he has faced while raising two children, as well as his own parenting philosophy.

Kang Seok-woo revealed that since parents cannot control every situation their children encounter as they grow up, he has prayed earnestly each time he faces a problem involving his children. He added that this approach to parenting was learned from his mother, who taught him through prayer rather than scolding during his childhood.

Citing "gratitude" and "sharing" as the values he wishes to pass on to his children, Kang Seok-woo also introduced his connection with Compassion. He revealed that he was moved by the story of Seo Jeong-in, president of Korea Compassion, who appeared on a program he hosted in the past, which led him and his wife to begin sponsoring a child named "Dorothy." Subsequently, wanting to pass on the value of sharing to his children, the entire family visited Korea Compassion, and together with his two children, they now sponsor a total of nine children.

Kang Seok-woo conveyed that he views sponsorship not as something special, but as part of daily life, finding meaning in sharing the blessings he has received with others. To those who hesitate about sponsoring, he advised starting to share according to their own circumstances rather than waiting until they have sufficient financial leeway. He also emphasized the value of consistent sharing, like a light drizzle, stating that sponsorship needs to continue "even if it is just 10,000 won per month for 10 or 20 years."

Meanwhile, "A World Lived in Christ" shares stories of life, faith, and giving from various individuals every first Thursday of the month. So far, Shin Ae-ra, Song Eun-ee, Kim Bum-soo, Baek Ji-young, Yoon Yu-sun, Byul, Jado, and So Hyang have appeared to share candid stories about their life experiences and the value of sharing.
