Her Practice for More Smiles and Happiness

"I will come up to many people by singing with my heart and talent"

June, Joined as the 176th We the Great Shops

Q. Please tell us about yourself.
A. I'm In-ja, Ahn, also known as the singer Shinbia. I just came back from a live morning show today!

Q. What  does  joining  the  small  business regular sponsorship campaign 'We the Great Shops' mean to you?
A. For a long time, I have been supported many things, such as dining out.  I naturally thought I was sharing what I had. I believe that sharing is about heart and love.

Q. You have been sharing through the 'Pocheonsi Infinite Care Hope Welfare Center' since 2012. Is there anything you would like to tell us about?
A. Sponsorship is not always a positive experience. It was painful sometimes because even though I  wanted to do more, I felt limited  by  reality.  When  sponsoring  multicultural  children, I often found myself thinking, "I wonder how the sponsored child will grow up. I hope they choose the right path." It was frustrating that I couldn't do anything regarding that aspect. This feeling particularly lingers in my mind, leaving me with a sense of regret.

Q. Please share a word of aspiration or determination as the president.
A. I think I still need to learn more. But first, I want to share happy love through singing, which is my talent. I'm singing to bring smiles and happiness. Moving forward, I will reach out to all of you with the support of those who have been sharing before. Stay tuned!
