Actress Lee Min Jung has been appointed as the spokesperson for Korea's Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Make-A-Wish Foundation helps children with life-threatening diseases by granting their wishes and thereby giving them a sense of hope, courage, and joy. Lee Min Jung first heard of this foundation through it's sponsorship chairman Kang Suk Woo. Last March, she served as a volunteer worker and raised about 10,000,000 won (about $8,300) which went to funding four children's wish grantings. Lee Min Jung stated,

"Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, I have been able to sympathize for the children who are fighting against diseases... From now on, I will try my best to publicize this foundation, which gives hope and joy to children with life-threatening diseases."

Her first agenda upon being named the spokesperson was to participate in a photo shoot with 3 children who have had their wishes granted. Upon completing the photo shoot Lee Min Jung made pinky-promises with each of the children saying,

"Dreams are very precious and lovely. Don't lose hope in the future and make sure to achieve your dreams."
