Green Umbrella, a child welfare organization chaired by Hwang Younggi, announced on May 14 that it has appointed coloratura soprano Park Sunghui as its new ambassador. Green Umbrella explained that the appointment was made to widely promote its talent development program, "iLeader," so that more people can understand the significance of the project and be encouraged to participate.

Ambassador Park Sunghui has won first place in several international competitions in Italy, including "VISSI D'ARTE," "CECINA LIRICA," and "PADOVA," and received a special award at the 2011 Korea Opera Awards hosted by Classic Times. She has also been dedicated to nurturing young talent at Seoul National University and Ewha Womans University, and is currently affiliated with the French Skarbo classical label, actively performing as an opera lead and oratorio soloist mainly in Europe.

Since 2020, Park has personally mentored four children with vocal talent, including those in the Green Umbrella iLeader program. In addition to providing musical guidance, she has served as a life mentor, helping them pursue their dreams through sharing and support. The four vocal talents mentored by Park sent congratulatory video messages to the appointment ceremony.

Based on her experience, Ambassador Park plans to promote the vision of the iLeader program and support children's dreams and challenges through various activities, including the iLeader launch ceremony, mentoring, and talent-sharing concerts.

Ambassador Park Sunghui stated, "The potential and pure passion of children always move me deeply," and added, "As an ambassador for Green Umbrella, I will do my utmost to help talented children find their own voices and move toward their dreams."

Hwang Younggi, Chairman of Green Umbrella, said, "We are honored to welcome soprano Park Sunghui, who is recognized in the arts both in Korea and abroad, as our new ambassador. Green Umbrella, together with 580,000 sponsors and ambassadors who lead the culture of sharing through talent donation, will continue to support children so that the question of their dreams does not remain unanswered."
