Even though she is the mother of two kids, Kim Sung Ryung still sponsored for a Vietnamese adopted daughter, who is called Thom and lived in Nam Dinh, Vietnam.

In October 2015, Kim Sung Ryung visited Yen Tho, Nam Dinh Province within the Plan Korea program. At this time, she came and met Thom, the one that she adopted as a daughter and has sponsored for during the last 10 years. The kind heart of this former Miss Korea has inspired many people to give their hands to unfortunate people.

Sharing fate with her adopted daughter, Kim Sung Ryung wrote: “My name is Kim Sung Ryung, 48 years old. I am an actress. I have a daughter who was born with all my heart. Her name is Thom. My daughter’s hometown is an isolated village 78km from Hanoi. A small village appeared after a winding road.

The first time I met Thom was 10 years ago. I recognized Thom among the children. When I looked at her, I bursted into tears without knowing why. Thom family was very poor. She lives with her grandmother and three younger brothers in a house with no electricity. Thom said her parents went to work all the way to Saigon to earn money to support the family. Feeding 5 mouths at home is very difficult.

I thought: “I want to give that little child a dream”. And I decided to become Thom’s second family. The day I left, I promised Thom: “I’ll be back to see you in 10 years. Never give up hope and do your best to live a good life.”

“Last month I went back to Vietnam because of the promise I made to my daughter 10 years ago. I was wondering,“ Will she miss me? ”Thom is 19 this year, already a grownup young lady. She recognized me immediately when I choked in tears: “Sorry for being a little late”, she replied: “I’m so grateful you came back to see me”. I hugged Thom and cried happily … “
