The International Rescue Committee (IRC), with Lee Eunyoung serving as the Korea Representative, announced on the 19th that actress Oh Minae has been appointed as its ambassador.

The International Rescue Committee explained, "This appointment, marking World Humanitarian Day, aims to amplify the voices of those facing humanitarian crises such as war, conflict, disaster, and the climate crisis, and to promote humanitarian values."

Oh Minae has received attention for her sincere performances that deeply resonate with audiences in numerous works, including the drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines." Having majored in social welfare and consistently shown interest in social issues and vulnerable groups, her attitude of understanding those in difficulty and seeking solutions aligns with the core values of the International Rescue Committee, which led to her selection as ambassador.

The International Rescue Committee ambassador plays a role in raising awareness about the need for humanitarian aid and spreading positive influence. Internationally, figures such as Rami Malek, Patrick Stewart, Sarah Wayne Callies, and Piper Perabo serve as ambassadors, while in Korea, world-renowned guitarist and YouTuber Jung Sungha is currently active.

Going forward, the International Rescue Committee plans to work with Ambassador Oh Minae to share stories from humanitarian crisis sites around the world through various channels, including broadcasts, campaigns, and offline events, and to encourage support and participation in bringing hope to those in need.

Ambassador Oh Minae stated, "As I sought to use my experience and influence as an actress for good, I learned about the activities of the International Rescue Committee and deeply empathized with the stories of people facing humanitarian crises. I felt that the patience and perseverance that have shaped my career resemble their resilience," adding, "As an ambassador, I will do my utmost to ensure that more people empathize with those in need and take action."

Lee Eunyoung, Korea Representative of the International Rescue Committee, said, "We are delighted to welcome actress Oh Minae, who has demonstrated depth in her acting and sincerity in her actions, as our ambassador. We sincerely thank her for joining us on the humanitarian journey, and we hope her participation will help amplify the voices of those in crisis and serve as a force for positive change."
