In the interview, Choi Siwon details the historic beginning of the CRC, and how even 30 years later, many children are still being deprived of their childhoods. For the 30th anniversary of the CRC, Choi Siwon then calls world leaders to arms in the fight for children’s rights, finishing with this iconic line,
2019 is a special year, children are standing up for their rights.
