Our Story
The A.C.T movement was founded by Janet Hyun, a world-renowned artist, who dedicated the past 20 years of her life to changing the spiritual atmosphere of cities through painting. Then, a new dream came from inside her heart - a dream to awaken people to their dreams and callings. In 2022, Janet came to Korea and felt a calling to start a movement of compassionate action, centered around the phrase: "Ascend and Come Together".​
​​
The mission that Janet embarked on was to awaken the oppressed, the forgotten, and the lost people. Shortly after arriving to Korea, Janet spoke at a seminar where several individuals were inspired to join the movement to bring healing and change culture - through compassionate action. A group of people naturally came together almost overnight, and the A.C.T. movement was born.​
