Members of male vocal group Sweet Sorrow were appointed goodwill ambassadors for the Korean National committee for the United Nations Environment Programme on Tuesday.

As UNEP National committee for the Republic of Korea ambassadors, Sweet Sorrow will be partaking in diverse activities to raise public awareness and understanding of environmental issues.

“We are very happy to be appointed goodwill ambassadors for the Korean National committee for UNEP, an international organization that fosters cooperation between countries,” said Sweet Sorrow. “Through this opportunity, we will try to become leading advocates of environmental protection.”

UNEP is an agency that aims to promote international cooperation in the field of environmental protection.

International stars such as fashion model Gisele Bundchen, actors Don Cheadle and Ian Somerhalder, and Manchester City footballer Yaya Toure are current UNEP goodwill ambassadors.

In 2012, actress Han Ji-min was appointed UNEP National committee for the Republic of Korea's goodwill ambassador.
