A press release from Design Korea 2010 made the announcement on Tuesday and explained that Han was selected for her “good-natured and sophisticated image.”

The appointment ceremony will take place on November 18 at the Renaissance Seoul Hotel.

Han, 23, rose to stardom throughout Korea and Asia after starring as a heroine in several hit dramas including “Brilliant Legacy (2009)” and historical drama “Dong Yi (2010).”

Organizers will also display exemplary design products from the G-20 member nations.
