In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign have become phenomenal.

On March 22nd, 2008, myself and thirteen others took to the streets of Chuncheon, South Korea in what may have been the largest free hugs campaign ever in South Korea. Young, old, male, female, across cultures, languages and skin colors we hugged and hugged and hugged. Smile after smile this was truly a very special time. Many thanks to everyone who came out and participated and, of course, many thanks to Juan Mann for his inspiration.

  • Does one just randomly do this? Or is there like a specific day that people do this around the world? Also, if one is thinking of doing this...is there any risk or being arrested or any potential risks?

  • @Timbit8888888 Random is pretty fun, yes, but I think there are at least a few days per year where it is a bit more focused. Personally, I prefer random campaigns. As for police or that stuff? You open your arms to someone and over they come. I think that means no risk...and obviously, it's just a hug, so hands should remain in hugging formation! ;)

  • Simply amazing! This world needs more people like you.

  • @mavericks2261 awwwww ... thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

  • This is truly inspiring. What a great thing you guys did there. If given the opportunity, I would definitely love to do this someday.

  • @MidnightPhoeniX01 don't wait for the opportunity, start it yourself!!!
