Hongjoong, the captain of the group ATEEZ, has begun his official journey as a World Vision Global Ambassador, spreading positive influence.

Recently, ATEEZ’s official Twitter (X) account posted behind-the-scenes photos from the appointment ceremony for the World Vision ‘Global 6K for Water’ campaign, along with a heartfelt message from Hongjoong.

In the photos, Hongjoong is seen in a neat suit, holding his appointment plaque with a confident and trustworthy smile. His calm and sincere demeanor catches the eye, offering a different vibe from his usual powerful charisma on stage.

Regarding the significance of the campaign, Hongjoong explained, "It’s not just a simple 6km; it’s the distance someone must walk every single day just to survive." He shared his profound commitment, stating, "We are taking a small step together so that this distance is no longer a part of children's daily lives." He also encouraged fans to participate, saying, "Please walk with us again this year."

‘Global 6K for Water’ is a campaign where participants walk or run to donate on behalf of children in Africa who travel an average of 6km daily to fetch clean water. Hongjoong, who has consistently been a role model through his donations and volunteer work, plans to take the lead in delivering hope to children worldwide through this appointment.

Fans who read the news showed overwhelming support and encouragement, commenting, "We support Hongjoong's positive influence," "A true captain with a perfect heart," and "I will join in this meaningful step."
