How are the children, Yeong-u and Mi-jin, doing after meeting again following the broadcast?

In the episode of titled "The Future of Children Gifted by You," which airs on EBS on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 11:25 AM, we deliver the stories of children moving toward the future after passing through difficult times. The protagonists are Yeong-u, who lived alone with his sick grandmother, and the boxing girl Mi-jin, who became the pillar of her family after losing her father. Your small interests gathered to become a warm ember, and that ember became a candle in the children's lives, lighting up their tomorrow.

This time, Yeong-u wrote a thank-you letter to the viewers of !

“I am Kim Yeong-u, who has received a lot of help thanks to the 'Sharing 0700' program. Thanks to the support of many viewers, the lives of my grandmother and me have improved significantly. Because of that, I am also studying hard and have even started receiving scholarships. (Omitted) I will not forget this grace and will surely succeed to help neighbors in need like me in the future.” - Grandson Kim Yeong-u

In December 2025, we introduced Kim Yeong-u (then 15), who was living alone with his sick grandmother Seo Yong-ju (then 74) in Jindo, Jeonnam. At the time, Yeong-u sent a letter directly to asking for help for his sick grandmother. To Yeong-u, who was separated from his parents only 6 months after birth, his grandmother was his entire world. As the grandmother, who had cared for Yeong-u for a long time, found it difficult to move due to spinal stenosis and a herniated disc, the young Yeong-u naturally had to take charge of housework and nursing. After the broadcast, thanks to the warm hearts sent by the viewers, a welcome change came to the two of them. The grandmother's health has improved compared to before, and she was able to receive necessary surgery. Yeong-u is also devoting himself to his studies, maintaining top grades in high school and receiving scholarships. He left a thank-you letter to the viewers of with the wish to not forget the help he received and to reach out to neighbors in difficulty like himself in the future.

Mi-jin, who can now stretch her fists toward her golden dream once again!

“I can do the boxing I want to do, and since my younger brother also wants to exercise following me, we often exercise together. My mother's health has also improved a lot, so we are spending happy days.” - Daughter Hong Mi-jin

“It was so heartbreaking to see talented friends like Mi-jin disappear without being able to shine, but it was so wonderful that they could shine because so many people helped like this. And thanks to the support this time, her brother Gwang-ui also started exercising with her, and Gwang-ui also has great talent.” - Gym Director

In March this year, we met Mi-jin (17), who was nurturing her dream of becoming a boxer while protecting her family amidst the sorrow of losing her father. She was taking care of the housework and even looking after her younger brother Gwang-ui (15) on behalf of her mother Kim Yeon-hwa (44), who was sick with back pain and asthma. While boxing was a precious dream that helped her endure her difficult reality, it was by no means easy for Mi-jin to continue boxing due to the difficult economic situation. After the broadcast, thanks to the intense interest and love sent by the viewers, Mi-jin's daily life has changed. Her mother received necessary treatment and her health has improved significantly, and Mi-jin is also continuing her vigorous training with new boxing gloves. Her brother Gwang-ui also started boxing following his sister. The siblings are growing their respective dreams while balancing studies and exercise. Mi-jin expressed her deep gratitude to the viewers of , saying she will continue to work hard to achieve more results.
