Singer IU is stepping up to join the fight against bullying in shcool.
On January 10th, Cho Hyun Oh from the National Police Agency appointed IU as an official ambassador to advocate against school violence.
IU was chosen thanks to her friendly and wholesome image, which the
National Police Agency believes would help them raise national awareness
about school violence prevention.
“As an ambassador against school violence, I feel more of a need to be responsible now,” the singer remarked. “As
a celebrity, there were times where it was really hard for me at school
but my friends were a good support system. I will do my best to serve
as a bridge between the police and schools, making sure that students
study in a safe and fun environment.”
Cho Hyun Oh expressed that he has high expectations for the new ambassador.
“We need a school violence prevention spokesmodel who the
students could relate to, to help them reach a collective consensus that
bullying and violence is wrong,” he said. “We hope that you
will actively serve as an ambassador so that victims feel that they are
free to report incidents without being afraid of retaliation from the
bullies. This way, second and third offenses will not occur in the
future.”
The members of the National Police Agency are taking measures to
eradicate school violence by locally placing 306 policemen, and
specially promoting 40 others.
