On November 4, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Korea representative stated, "Angelina Jolie met with Jung Woo Sung and the Minister of Justice Park Sang-ki, and had a conversation about refugees from Yemen as a U.N. refugee agency's Special Envoy."
Angelina Jolie was appointed Special Envoy in April, 2012 after working for UNHCR for 12 years (2001-2012) as a goodwill ambassador, and Jung Woo Sung also has been helping the organization to achieve its ultimate goal after he was appointed as a goodwill ambassador back in 2012.

She said while mentioning the fact Jung Woo Sung suffered from malicious comments after taking a stand on refugees, "Even after all that, you are still doing your part. As a compatriot, I'm grateful for that and am proud of you."

He continued, "Most Koreans don't have any opinion on refugees because it's fairly a new concept to them, and some of them are even pro-refugee, but they are not just making their voice heard. The reason why it looks like there are lots of anti-refugee sentiments is because only the people who are against them are speaking up."
