Top actor Jang Dong-gun and actress Ko So-young want to visit quake-stricken Haiti to take part in volunteer efforts, their aides said.

Jang is currently a goodwill ambassador for the World Food Program (WFP), a branch of the United Nations, and Ko is a UNICEF envoy.

"I know Jang has plans to visit Haiti and that Ko is also considering going with him in support of his actions", an aide was quoted as saying by the Sports Hankook daily. "But it's uncertain whether it will be before or after their wedding".

They reportedly plan to tie the knot around May.

Jang is recovering from a recent knee surgery. He sustained the injury in 2003 while making the movie "Taegukgi".

The couple is seeking to visit Haiti as they have set a goal of focusing more on volunteer activities as one of their "couple projects".

"Last June, Ko took part in an international anti-AIDS campaign as a UNICEF envoy. The couple plans to actively take part in volunteer programs. Volunteering is one of the important projects of their marriage", another aide said.

Jang has already donated 100 million won for the quake victims in Haiti. Right after being discharged from the hospital following the surgery, Jang recorded a video calling for people to help Haitians through WFP programs.

Aides said that whether Jang's visit to Haiti will materialize depends on the pace of his recovery from surgery.
