From the Korea Herald News:

When Ryoko Yonekura walked into a news conference room at Lotte Hotel, Monday, all eyes turned to her. Traditional light-green jeogori, or jacket, scarlet hanbok skirt and a round chignon were all becoming on Yonekura, 27, one of the most popular actresses in Japan.

As the number of Japanese visitors to Korea decreased notably this year due to concerns about severe acute respiratory syndrome and the nuclear crisis in North Korea, the Korea National Tourism Organization enlisted the help of Yonekura to promote Korea as a travel destination, appointing her as Korea-Japan goodwill ambassador in July. "I willingly accepted KNTO's proposal," said Yonekura. After debuting in 1999, she has been a top star in Japan since gaining popularity with the lead role in "Love Revolution," a hit drama, which aired on Fuiji TV in 2001.

The actress said that she became interested in Korean culture after performing in a drama called "The Sudden Shower," (Sonagi) a joint production by Korea and Japan, which aired on MBC last November.

"The most impressive thing about this country is the people," said Yonekura, adding, "I cannot forget that all Korean people, regardless of their age and gender, got together and supported their soccer team with red shirts in the World Cup last year. Many Japanese people were touched by Koreans' unity. It was amazing."

The actress is not taking her role as a goodwill ambassador lightly, reserving time out from her hectic schedule to learn to play the gayageum, a twelve-string zither. "To introduce Korea to Japan, first of all, I think I have to be acquainted with Korean culture," she explained. She is also learning the Korean language.

Yonekura, whose favorite Korean foods are kimchi and samgyetang, or boiled chicken, had the opportunity experience Korean culture firsthand during her three-day stay by making kimchi and visiting places of historic interest. Before leaving Korea yesterday, she paid a courtesy call on President Roh Moo-hyun.
