Yoo Ji-tae: "My Dream is to Establish an Orphanage"

Actor Yoo Ji-tae has announced his plan to establish welfare facilities for the needy. Yoo, who currently stars in movies and studies cinematography at graduate school, said in a recent interview with Star News that, aside from acting in movies, he has a dream to one day establish an orphanage.

"My mother, who worked as a nurse for a long time, wants to run a hospital for the elderly someday. I want to financially help her realize her dream, and then establish an orphanage", said Yoo.

Yoo, who has been visiting orphanages away from the public eye whenever he has time, said he decided to establish his own orphanage when an existing orphanage started to openly demand money from him. "I just want to show that an orphanage is not supposed to be like that. I haven't devised a concrete plan yet but I want to start my orphanage when I am about 35", said Yoo.
