Han Ji-min named Seoul National University Hospital Supporters' Association ambassador

Actress Han Ji-min was appointed as an ambassador for the Seoul National University Hospital Supporters' Association on the 23rd. Following her 100 million won donation to Seoul National University Children's Hospital last December, she will work alongside actor Choi Woo-shik to promote medical donations and social contribution projects.

Actress Han Ji-min is set to promote a culture of medical sharing after being appointed as an ambassador for the Seoul National University Hospital Supporters' Association. This follows her donation of 100 million won to Seoul National University Children's Hospital last year to support children undergoing medical treatment, and she will now serve as the face of the organization to promote the value of sharing. Through consistent charitable acts, Han Ji-min is expanding her social contribution activities beyond simple donations.

Seoul National University Hospital announced on the 28th that it appointed Han Ji-min as an ambassador for the Seoul National University Hospital Supporters' Association on the 23rd. Actor Choi Woo-shik, who has been serving as an ambassador, was also recently reappointed. The two will work together to promote the necessity of donations in the medical field and support various social contribution projects promoted by the association.

The connection between Han Ji-min and Seoul National University Hospital dates back to last year. After visiting the hospital with her family, she met children undergoing medical treatment and felt a desire to provide them with practical help. Consequently, she donated 100 million won to Seoul National University Children's Hospital in December of last year. The donation is being used to cover medical expenses for low-income pediatric patients facing difficulties due to economic hardship.

In her remarks regarding the appointment, Han Ji-min stated that her meeting with the children was the motivation for her decision to donate. "The children I met at the hospital remained in my heart, and I wanted to be a source of strength for them, even if just a little," she said. "If there is any way I can be helpful as an ambassador, I am willing to participate. I will also actively support the various activities of the Seoul National University Hospital Supporters' Association." She expressed her intention to participate in continuous sharing activities rather than making a one-time donation.

Launched in 2005, the Seoul National University Hospital Supporters' Association carries out various projects to support the hospital's education, research, medical treatment, and public healthcare sectors, as well as to help treat patients in difficult economic circumstances. The role of the association is significant, as it provides support to improve the quality of medical services and offers practical help to patients who cannot access sufficient treatment opportunities. The ambassador activities of Han Ji-min and Choi Woo-shik are expected to focus on informing the public about these public interest projects.

Since her debut in the entertainment industry, Han Ji-min has practiced positive influence through consistent donations and social contribution activities. Having debuted in the 2003 drama 'All In', she gradually expanded her acting range through various works. In 2018, she was recognized for her acting capabilities by winning acting awards at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Baeksang Arts Awards for the film 'Miss Baek'. Her performances in works that directly address the realities of the socially vulnerable, combined with her ongoing charitable activities, have left a deep impression on the public.

She has also portrayed a wide range of characters in dramas. She showcased delicate emotional acting in 'Lee San, Wind in the Palace', 'Familiar Wife', 'The Light in Your Eyes', 'One Spring Night', and 'Our Blues'. In the SBS drama 'Love Scout' last year, she played Kang Ji-yoon, the CEO of a headhunting company, and showed romantic chemistry with Lee Joon-hyuk. The connection formed during that production will continue in her next project, as Han Ji-min is scheduled to make a special appearance in the SBS drama 'Awakening' starring Lee Joon-hyuk.

Her private life, which draws public attention, is also a topic of interest. Since admitting to her relationship with Jannabi vocalist Choi Jung-hoon in August 2024, Han Ji-min has been in a public relationship. As she continues to receive attention for her acting, personal life, and social contributions, interest is focused on whether her appointment as ambassador will encourage more people to learn about the difficulties in medical settings and join in the spirit of sharing.
