Korean heartthrob actor Kim Soo-hyun has joined the yellow ribbon campaign in support of the passengers of the sunken ferry Sewol. He posted an image of a yellow ribbon on his official website.

Beneath the yellow ribbon, he wrote, “I hope all our hearts reach heaven.”

The yellow ribbon campaign launched as a symbol of hope for the safe return of those who went missing after the Sewol disaster. An increasing number of people have posted the image of a yellow ribbon on their social networking or messenger profiles.

Earlier, Kim donated 300 million won to Danwon High School in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, which saw 339 teachers and students left dead or missing after the ferry sank off the southwest coast on April 16.
