Bangtan Boys holding angelic babies!

The seven-member boy group Bangtan Boys has made a hearty contribution to the ‘Letters From Angels’ project run by the famous Korean photographer Cho Sei hon (55).

This project has been ongoing since 2003 to raise awareness about the importance of adoption. It features Korean celebrities who came together to take beautiful photos with orphaned babies in foster care. This year, the photo shoot proceeded with a ‘purety’ theme. Bangtan Boys all wore white tops and held a baby for the photo shoot.

This gallery project started when a social worker came to photographer Cho Seihon requesting for a 100th day photo (100th day since the baby was born) for orphaned kids. Since then, Cho has been carrying on by his own volition for eleven years!

Other idols who participated this year are 2AM, 2PM, 4Minute, and Sistar.

Meanwhile, Bangtan Boys received a New Artist Award at the 2013 MelOn Music Awards on the 14th.
