There are 661 long-term missing children in South Korea. In order to find them, we need people to pay attention.

But the longer they are missing, the more indifferent people become.

Desperate parents hand out flyers with their child’s information all day, but they only amount to a few hundred.

We created the ‘Hope Tape’ - a packaging tape with missing children’s information printed on.

When sealing a package with this tape, it serves as a medium for delivering the children’s information directly to people’s doorsteps all across the nation.

The Hope Tape features old and age-progressed photos of the children, their last seen place and physical features, as well as a QR code that connects to the Korea National Police Agency’s database for missing children. You can also register your child’s fingerprints for preventive measures.

How can we stop people from forgetting our children?

With Covid-19 causing a drastic increase in the use of parcel delivery services, packages have become a medium that can spread across the nation very fast.

By using them as a medium to spread information about our missing children, we could reach every household in the country.

As of May 25th, 2020 - International Missing Children’s Day -, anyone sending a package via one of the 22 central Korea Post offices can use the tape.

In collaboration with South Korea’s 2nd largest parcel delivery service, it is also used on goods purchased online and delivers missing children’s information to every household.
