The designation highlights her unique background and enduring career spanning both South Korea and the Philippines.
Park confirmed the appointment through an Instagram post, where she expressed immense gratitude to the agency for the opportunity.
“I have been appointed as a Public Relations Ambassador for the Overseas Koreans Agency,” she shared. “I am sincerely grateful to be entrusted with such a meaningful role.”
The star reflected on her deep roots in the Philippines, explaining that her formative years spent living abroad allowed her to develop a deep empathy and connection for the global Korean diaspora.
“Having lived in the Philippines for many years, I have come to understand and feel close to the hearts of overseas Koreans, which makes this opportunity even more meaningful to me,” she said.
Looking ahead, Park pledged to utilize her massive global platform to foster closer ties between expatriate communities and South Korea.
