Jang Nara Named Ambassador of Chinese Charity



Hallyu star Jang Nara has become a PR envoy for a leading Chinese charity organization.

The singer and actress on Monday held a fund raising concert for child patients of leukemia in China.

The Jang Foundation was established from the money raised during Jang's fan club meeting at her June 9 concert in Beijing, which was held to mark the 15th year of Korean-Chinese diplomatic relations.

Twelve hundred seats of the concert sold out early and Jang wowed the crowd with a great performance. After the concert on stage, a leading Chinese charity organization appointed Jang as a goodwill ambassador, making her the first foreigner to receive the honor.

The appointment comes only 7 months after she was named an ambassador to one of the organization's charity events in November. Now she has been appointed the representative celebrity of the entire organization.

Jang's father Joo Ho-seong noted keen local interest, saying that Chinese dailies are dedicating two to three full pages to the story and calling his daughter "angel Jang Nara."
