Recently, the Wonder Girls represented all of Korea’s musicians and took to the 2011 Athens-Greece Special Olympics Closing Ceremony stage. Here they performed for a worldwide audience of over 50,000 and successfully displayed the beauty of Korean culture. Afterwards, the 2013 Pyeongchang Special Olympics’ Organizational Board of Committee selected the Wonder Girls as the honorary ambassadors for this upcoming event, giving them a chance to once again support the cause.
Being deeply affected by the recent event, the Wonder Girls gladly accepted the Organizational Board of Committee’s request. Furthermore, the Wonder Girls will participate in various promotional activities as ambassadors until the 2013 Pyeongchang Special Olympics.
The Special Olympics event is a global effort to develop a program to help children and adults with intellectual disability. The event’s goals are to provide ongoing sports training and opportunities for these individuals to improve their social adaptability and for them to receive recognition as productive members of our society. Currently, Kim Yun Jin, Yiruma, Nam Kyung Joo, Kim Jin Ho (impaired individual helping intellectual development) are serving as ambassadors for the event as well. Movie star, Zhang Ziyi, has also been a honorary ambassador for 6 years since 2004.
The 2011 Greece Special Olympics successfully made way for the 10th anniversary 2013 Special Olympics, which will be held in Pyeongchang, Korea.
The Wonder Girls believe that their recent 2011 Greece Special Olympics participation has “instilled a sense of duty” in them. They are “extremely thankful to have received a privilege to participate in such a meaningful event” and that they will “give it their best to make the 2013 Pyeongchang Special Olympics more widespread.”
