Jung Woo-sung said in a conversation with the audience at the "Refugee Movie Night" Event held at the United Nations Refugee Organization Korea Representative Department in Lotte Cinema, Jung-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 28th, "What we can do about Refugee is to be interested," he said.
Jung Woo-sung, a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Refugee Organization, replied to the question, "What can ordinary citizens do with Refugee?" And emphasized, "I think I can fully help them when I understand them well with interest."
The Event was held as one of the United Nations Refugee Organization '#Refugee' campaigns. The United Nations Refugee Organization Korea delegation has set a week as 'with #Refugee' week from the 25th of this month and is holding Events such as Jeju Island Porum, Refugee movie night and talk concert.
"I always thought about Refugee as a distant Europe story, but I suddenly opened the door and asked for help, so I know that many people are embarrassed," he said. "We are taking a very big test on how we Europe people far from the disputed area should communicate with them."
"I am a popular movie star and I say why I ignore the voice of concern about Refugee," he said. "But everyone's voice is important to me." However, I would like to calmly say that it is the reality that we face to protect them preemptively in order to solve the problems facing Refugee. "
He also introduced his experience of meeting Refugees directly from Jeju Island.
Jung Woo-sung said, "I went to Jeju Island Porum Event and met six minutes of Refugee from Yemen." "They are afraid of us as we Europe people are afraid of them."
"There are a lot of people who are concerned that their clothes are fine (whether they are fake), but because they do not lose everything because they are wars, they can wear brand clothes," Jung Woo-sung said. "They also use mobile phones, which is more precious than Bob because they are for exchanging news with their family and colleagues left in their homeland."
"Refugee is often difficult to get proper information about the country to exile, so he has to go through brokers," he said. "We should blame brokers who try to cheat against Refugee, not criticize Refugee for using brokers."
Jung Woo-sung appeared in person and narrated the documentary "Hoda" (The Unforgotten), which was screened at the festival. Hoda is the name of a girl with a hearing loss living in the Hasansham displaced village in Kurdish, Iraq, and Jung Woo-sung met Hoda and informed her about the life of Refugee there.
