Actor Ha Jiwon is participating in the Korean Committee for UNICEF's new TV campaign, "Life-Saving Support," through a talent donation.
Starting today, November 11, Ha Jiwon will serve as the face and voice of the Korean Committee for UNICEF's new campaign, "Life-Saving Support," which will be broadcast across major TV channels.
This campaign was designed to raise awareness of the devastating reality faced by children around the world whose survival is threatened by conflict and severe malnutrition, and to urge practical support such as relief supplies and basic medical services. Ha Jiwon, who has long had a deep interest in children and marginalized groups, deeply resonated with the campaign's positive purpose and readily decided to join, taking the lead in drawing public attention and support.
Regarding her participation in the campaign, Ha Jiwon expressed her heartfelt sentiments, saying, "Learning about the reality of children put in danger by society and their environment made me want to help in any way I could, which led me to donate my talents." She added, "I hope this campaign will bring practical support to more children so that they never lose hope," encouraging warm helping hands ahead of the upcoming year-end.
Meanwhile, Ha Jiwon has consistently continued her charitable deeds from her debut to the present. Starting with donating the entire fee she received for appearing in a music video to cover surgery costs for children with cleft lip and palate at Seoul National University Children's Hospital, she also participated in the "Blue Band Campaign," which encouraged support for medical expenses of children from low-income families and those with intractable diseases. Later, she also donated all the royalties from her self-published essay collection to treat pediatric and child patients at Yonsei University Severance Hospital.
