WFP unveils photos of Jang Dong-gun in Laos

Photographs of Korean actor Jang Dong-gun visiting Laos in March were unveiled today.

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) on its official website revealed pictures of Jang, the goodwill ambassador for the WFP, of when he was in Laos three months ago to shoot a promotional antipoverty documentary.

The documentary features Jang visiting local schools in the country to provide free meals for its students -- their province was hit by a typhoon last September causing a flood to ruin the country's crops.

The photos showed the actor meeting and talking with the local children, transporting food to the area and fulfilling other duties.

Jang, considered one of Korea's most popular actors, has starred in numerous television dramas such as "All About Eve" and movies including "Friend," "TaeGukGi: Brotherhood Of War" and "Typhoon."

He is currently working on filming for war film "My Way" alongside Korean actress Son Ye-jin.

Just last month, he made headlines for marrying Korean actress Ko So-young, his co-star in 1999 film "Love Wind, Love Song."
