Singer Yoo Yeol was appointed as a "joint promotional ambassador for life sharing."

On the 9th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare's National Organ Tissue Blood Management Institute and the Korea Organ Tissue Donation Institute announced that they appointed transplant recipient singer Yoo Yeol as a "joint promotional ambassador for life sharing."

Singer Yoo Yeol, who received a lung transplant in 2024, began his promotional ambassador activities to express his gratitude to donors and bereaved families for sharing new life hopes and to spread the nobility of life sharing through organ donation.

Yoo Yeol was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2017 and has been fighting the disease for seven years, and his life was in critical condition. However, in the summer of 2024, he received a lung donation from a brain-dead organ donor, underwent a transplant, and was able to live a new life.

He recovered his health significantly a year and a half after the transplant surgery, and as a person who has experienced the value of life sharing firsthand, he readily accepted the proposal of a "joint life sharing ambassador" to contribute to raising and revitalizing related awareness.

Yoo Yeol said, "I am grateful to be able to live again, and I feel like I can breathe such clear air with the life-sharing practice of donors, bereaved families, and medical staff. I will take the lead in letting many people know how precious and important life sharing is with beautiful songs and true voices through the lungs of donors breathing in my body," he said.

Yoo Yeol, who was appointed as a public relations ambassador, will participate in various life-sharing awareness improvement activities, including life-sharing events, life-sharing week ceremonies, promotional posters, and video production.
