'Kim Yong-geon's daughter-in-law' actress Hwang Bo-ra was awarded the Ministry of Health and Welfare Minister's Pyo Chang-eul (수상) for her contributions to spreading the culture of life-sharing.

According to her agency Workhouse Company on the 15th, Hwang Bo-ra attended the '9th Life-Sharing Week Commemorative Ceremony' held on the 14th and received the Ministry of Health and Welfare Minister's Commendation.

The agency stated, "Hwang Bo-ra began registering her wish for organ donation in 2012 and has continued to show consistent interest and action in life-sharing. In 2017, she participated in a campaign video shoot for promoting posthumous cornea donation as a talent donation, contributing to raising awareness of the meaning of life-sharing."

It further added, "Since then, she has taken the lead in spreading the value of organ donation and life-sharing through various activities such as interviews related to organ donation, photo shoots, donations of auction items, and regular support. Recently, she was recognized for her consistent social activities, including hosting a regular concert by 'B-Sol Orchestra,' which brings together disabled and non-disabled individuals. In 2025, she was appointed as an ambassador for life-sharing and participated in related campaigns and promotional activities."

Hwang Bo-ra expressed, "I am honored and deeply moved to receive such a meaningful award on the occasion of Life-Sharing Week. More valuable than the weight of this commendation is the heart that allows one to share new hope for life with someone else. As an ambassador, I will continue my activities with sincerity so that many more people can join in the noble value of life-sharing."

Hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to commemorate Life-Sharing Week, this event was held to honor those who have dedicated themselves to promoting organ donation and spreading the culture of life-sharing. At the ceremony, Hwang Bo-ra, who is active as a life-sharing ambassador, along with bereaved families of brain-dead organ donors and Kim Woo-yeol, General Affairs Director of the Love Organ Donation Movement Headquarters, received commendations together.

Hwang Bo-ra is currently active in various fields, including YouTube's 'Bo-yari,' Channel A's 'The Birth of Body God,' and TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Lover.' She is set to release her new movie 'CSAT: The Secret of the Questions' this October.

Meanwhile, Hwang Bo-ra married Kim Young-hoon, the second son of actor Kim Yong-geon and younger brother of Ha Jung-woo (real name Kim Sung-hoon), in 2022. They welcomed a son in 2024. Kim Young-hoon is also the representative of Workhouse Company, the entertainment agency to which both Ha Jung-woo and Hwang Bo-ra belong.
