9 September:

Brown Eyed Girls‘ Jea was said to have cried uncontrollably for 10 minutes while filming for KBS‘sChuseok special, ‘The Brown Eyed Girls’ Pit-a-Pat‘.

On September 8th, Jea was chosen to narrate the program as they followed the lives of six Chinese children suffering from various heart conditions and in need of immediate surgery. Sponsored by the KBS program, the six children were brought to Korea to undergo their necessary surgeries. The girls were with them everyday, and created a strong bond with the children.

Producers revealed, “After reading the last narration for the show in which she states, ‘I promise to visit China to see you again,’ Jea burst into tears and cried very hard for 10 straight minutes.”

They continued, “Everyone was upset to see her crying so hard while watching the footage of the memories she made with the children.”

Even on days where filming wasn’t scheduled, Jea visited the children at the hospital they were checked into. Because they all came from impoverished families, the children don’t have access to proper education. Upon hearing that, Jea expressed interest in helping a six year old child.

The program will air on September 12th at 5 PM KST.
