Actor Park Jung-min received the Ministry of Health and Welfare Minister's Commendation on April 20 to mark the 46th Disability Day.

According to the Korea Foundation for the Disabled on the 20th, Park Jung-min was awarded this commendation in recognition of his contributions to the advancement of disabled persons' human rights and the improvement of their welfare.

The Korea Foundation for the Disabled stated, "Park Jung-min has not limited himself to one-time donations but has taken the lead in breaking down the practical barriers faced by disabled persons through the production of audiobooks for the visually impaired and cultural invitation events funded from his own pocket. His sincere efforts have become the foundation for Lee Beon (수상)."

Park Jung-min has long shown deep interest in bringing the voices of marginalized groups to society. To this end, he established the publishing house 'Muje' and produced the audiobook 'First Summer, Wanchu' (by Kim Geum-hee) to enable visually impaired individuals to enjoy reading more comfortably. Notably, he did not stop at producing the audiobook but donated all related revenues, putting the virtuous cycle of sharing into practice.

Above all, Park Jung-min's good deeds went beyond mere financial support. When his musical 'Life of Pi' and the film 'Smugglers' were screened, he personally invited visually impaired individuals and their families at his own expense, providing tangible opportunities for cultural enjoyment and earning widespread applause from the disabled community.

What makes Park Jung-min's efforts even more remarkable is the meticulous consideration he showed during the donation process. A representative of the Korea Foundation for the Disabled shared this heartwarming story, stating, "Park Jung-min not only always initiates contact but also carefully checks in advance for any inconveniences that disabled persons might face, which is very impressive."

In fact, during the recently concluded musical invitation performance, it is reported that Park Jung-min personally inquired about ways for visually impaired individuals to fully enjoy the show. Thanks to his requests and the cooperation of the venue, the plot and information of the performance were prepared in advance in braille and text files and delivered accordingly, allowing the invited audience to share the emotional impact of the work without any restrictions.
