Launched in 2019 with five members, Bongsarang engages in various community services, such as supporting music therapy programs for disabled students every weekend, to which they have dedicated 47 hours in the last six months.

Using their musical talents, the members sang and performed with hand-bells at a local festival last year.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the students are currently participating in contactless volunteering activities. They plan to deliver handmade Christmas ornaments and warmers to the elderly for the year end.

She is currently a senior member of a volunteer group at her school, and leads the group by establishing yearly and monthly plans for their activities and making proposals for cooperation with other volunteer groups in the community.

Jeon visits a community center for the elderly every Wednesday to provide care and companionship, using her skills in massage and hand painting that she learnt at a local volunteer center.

Born to a Filipina mother and Korean father, Jeon has high potential to grow as a global citizen through the leadership, responsibility and thoughtfulness she has shown through her volunteer work.
