Coldplay and Love Button are back on the road, and our journey through Asia has been nothing short of magical. From the bustling streets of Hong Kong to the heartwarming communities of Seoul, every moment has been filled with love, kindness, and connection. Here’s a look at how we spread love across two incredible cities.
Hong Kong: A City of Heart and Hope
Our first stop was the vibrant and beautiful city of Hong Kong—a place where the city skyline meets mountain ranges and tropical beaches. It’s also home to hundreds of NGOs working to uplift and strengthen the community.
We kicked off our volunteer efforts with HandsOn Hong Kong, an inspiring organization connecting people with meaningful service opportunities. They introduced us to Food Grace, a group dedicated to reducing food waste and supporting local families. Our team helped prepare a heartwarming soup using rescued ingredients, then delivered it to 30+ senior households, bringing nourishment and smiles directly to doorsteps.
Next, we took time to honor Hong Kong’s stunning natural landscapes with Hong Kong Cleanup, an organization that’s mobilized over 1 million volunteers to keep the region beautiful. At Shek O Beach, Love Button volunteers joined their efforts, collecting 102 kg of rubbish and feeling a deep connection to the Earth and the people who protect it.
We then visited Feeding Hong Kong, an organization that began with a simple question: What if that unsold loaf of bread could feed someone in need? Today, they rescue 100 tons of food each month, transforming it into 325,000 meals. We joined their mobile pantry team, providing groceries to local seniors and witnessing the real impact of community-driven compassion.
Our last stop was with Changing Young Lives Foundation, a group empowering underserved youth through education and mentorship. At their center, our team worked with children aged 5–12 to create a giant world map—a tool that will help future generations strengthen their English and geography skills while dreaming big about the world.
Hong Kong, your spirit of love and resilience touched our hearts. Thank you to all the incredible organizations we had the honor of working with.
Seoul: A City That Filled Our Souls
From Hong Kong, we traveled to Seoul, a city that truly filled our souls with happiness. Over the course of Coldplay’s six incredible shows, Love Button continued our mission behind the scenes.
We kicked off with Volunteer Culture Korea, where we “plogged”—picking up litter while jogging—to help keep Seoul’s parks beautiful.
At Angel House Korea, we tapped into our creative sides, decorating shirts with the residents and sharing laughter and love through art.
With Volunteer for PLUR, we prepared and served warm meals to the homeless, offering nourishment and connection in a city that welcomes all with open arms.
Our time at Sangrok Children’s Home brought out our inner youth as we spent the day playing and learning alongside energetic and bright kindergarteners.
At the Seodaemun-gu senior center, we delivered essentials to seniors, sharing small but meaningful moments of care and companionship.
Finally, we helped beautify the Sungsimwon Children’s Home, working together to create a welcoming and vibrant space for the children who call it home.
Every experience in Seoul filled our cup to the very top. Thank you to the beautiful people we met, the organizations that work tirelessly to lift others up, and the city of Seoul for embracing us with open arms.
Next stop – North America!
