Jung Woo-sung attended the Global Repugee Forum Press Briefing held at the United Nations Refugee Organization's Korea delegation in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 20th, and cited "Misunderstood" as the biggest difficulty related to the Repugee issue in our society. "Refugee is our new neighbor. “I think there are a lot of such Misunderstood in Refugee and our society now, just as Misunderstood can happen in the process of becoming friends.”
Jung Woo-sung became an honorary ambassador to the United Nations Refugee Organization in May 2014, and has been a goodwill ambassador since 2015. Over the past five years, I have visited Refugee camps in seven countries, including Nepal, South Sudan and Bangladesh. In June, he also published an essay book, "If You Can See What I See," which contains the Refugee activities.
Jung Woo-sung also said, "We have been protecting Refugee for five years, and Refugee has increased by 25 million people all over the world, and ordinary people are still displaced." In this trend, Refugee protection responsibility will not be seen as a problem only in neighboring countries where Refugee has occurred. "
In fact, the problem of Refugee in Korea was recognized only as a problem of other countries, but it is emerging as an important social problem as it suffered from the problem of Refugee in Yemen last year.
Jung Woo-sung said, "I think I want to find the answer quickly as there are various conflicts of interest over the Refugee issue. But now it is time to think about how to understand the new neighbors. "We may have Misunderstood and prejudice in the process of getting to know our neighbors, but over time, this Misunderstood can be reduced. “This is a process of reducing this Missunderstock, and fortunately, the gap seems to be narrowing at a rapid pace,” he said.
He emphasized, "I would like to look at Refugee with a sense of understanding in social change rather than presenting urgent alternatives or answers."
