Choi Kang-hee's Sincerity: Training 6km While Carrying a Jerrycan

Actress Choi Kang-hee runs while carrying heavy water containers for children in Africa. In the 406th episode of MBC's 'Omniscient Interfering View' (Planned by Kang Young-sun / Directed by Kim Yoon-jip, Jeon Jae-wook, Kim Hae-ni, Jeong Dong-sik, Lee Da-un / Writer Yeo Hyeon-jeon), which airs on Saturday, July 11 at 11:10 PM, the donation running scene of the 'HeeHee Crew'—formed to support drinking water projects in Africa—will be broadcast.

In this project, Choi Kang-hee took on the role of manager and leader of the running crew. She is a veteran who has consistently participated in donation running for several years. She revealed that she has been training while carrying jerrycans (water containers) to personally experience the hardship of the 6km distance that African children must travel every day to fetch water. To turn her feelings for the children into action, she pushed herself through intense training.

Instead of sprinting simply to break records, Choi Kang-hee focused on taking each step while remembering the reality the children face.

Lee Se-hee's First Marathon Challenge Through Heavy Rain

Actress Lee Se-hee, who joined the campaign at Choi Kang-hee's suggestion, challenges her first marathon ever. Having prepared new running shoes the day before the race, Lee Se-hee showed positive energy despite the nationwide heavy rain forecast. She even led the atmosphere by playing the drums for the cheering squad on-site.

Under a heavy rain advisory, the two actresses engaged in running in the rain. Amidst the fierce wind and rain, Choi Kang-hee and Lee Se-hee shared the burden by taking turns carrying the jerrycans. Rather than competing for records, they were captured running at the pace of the slowest participants and the children's walking speed.

'HeeHee Crew' Completes the Run, Matching Pace Over Records

The two continued toward the finish line without losing their smiles despite the harsh weather. The process of encouraging each other while taking turns carrying the jerrycans was a way to reflect on the reality of African children walking to fetch water. They continued their journey by running together, matching the stride of the slowest person.

The donation running challenge of Choi Kang-hee and Lee Se-hee can be watched on MBC's 'Omniscient Interfering View' on July 11 at 11:10 PM.

'HeeHee Crew' United with Choi Kang-hee as Leader

The 'HeeHee Crew,' formed for this campaign, became a team when Lee Se-hee joined at Choi Kang-hee's suggestion. Based on her years of experience in donation running, Choi Kang-hee serves as the crew's leader and manager. Lee Se-hee joined this project after accepting Choi Kang-hee's proposal.
