UNICEF Korea Committee and Tomorrow X Together Launch Youth Mental Health YouTube Series

Real Stories and Concerns of Teenagers
Three Episodes to Be Released from June 5 to 19

On June 5, the UNICEF Korea Committee announced that it will launch the youth mental health YouTube series "Maummoa Secret Counseling" in collaboration with the group Tomorrow X Together (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai).

"Maummoa Secret Counseling" features members of Tomorrow X Together making direct appearances to empathize with young people's concerns and stories, delivering messages of encouragement and support.

The content is based on real stories submitted by teenagers through the UNICEF mental health program and the UNICEF booth at the fourth world tour, "2025 Tomorrow X Together," which was held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul in 2025.

The UNICEF Korea Committee developed this project in response to the reality that one out of every two teenagers finds it difficult to share their true feelings, and that 73% of teenagers who died by suicide belonged to the "silent group," showing no prior warning signs. The aim is to foster a social environment and culture of empathy where teenagers can comfortably talk about their feelings.

Inspired by the UNICEF headquarters' youth mental health podcast "On My Mind," and completed with advice from domestic youth mental health expert Professor Kim Hyunsoo, "Maummoa Secret Counseling" consists of three episodes focusing on emotions encountered in daily life. The episodes are: the "Sadness and Depression" episode with Soobin and Hueningkai on June 5; the "Anxiety" episode with Yeonjun and Professor Kim Hyunsoo on June 12; and the "Loneliness" episode with Beomgyu and Taehyun on June 19. Each episode will be released every Friday at 6 PM through the official YouTube channels of the UNICEF Korea Committee and Tomorrow X Together.

This series will also be featured on YouTube's "Teen Mental Health Shelf," which curates trustworthy youth mental health and well-being content. Through this, teenagers searching for relevant information are expected to more easily access messages of support from Tomorrow X Together members and expert advice.

Along with each episode release, there will be a video comment event. Selected participants will receive a "Maum Diary" containing handwritten messages of support from Tomorrow X Together members through a drawing.

Tomorrow X Together stated, "We deeply empathized with the honest and heartfelt concerns shared by teenagers through their stories, and we are grateful for their courage in opening up first. Everyone can feel sadness, anxiety, or loneliness at any time, so when difficult emotions arise, we hope people won't just keep them bottled up inside, but rather, talk with someone and find comfort and strength."

Jo Mijin, Secretary-General of the UNICEF Korea Committee, said, "We sincerely thank the members of Tomorrow X Together for contributing their heartfelt support to so many teenagers who find it difficult to express their struggles. We hope this campaign provides warm empathy and comfort to young people, and we will continue to work to create a social environment where youth can safely talk about their feelings."

Together with this content, the UNICEF Korea Committee is also conducting a vote on the "Maummoa Playlist" of 50 songs personally recommended by the members of Tomorrow X Together. Comprised of songs that offer comfort and strength to teenagers, the final 30 songs will be selected through voting on the official YouTube channel of the UNICEF Korea Committee until June 15, and the completed playlist will be released together with the youth audience.
