On Thursday, Trophy Entertainment announced that Han will be the publicity ambassador for Cinefrance, part of the 12th annual Soiree Francaise, to be held at the Emerald Hall in the Haeundae Grand Hotel on October 9.

"Han has led the audience through the various roles that she has taken on. She is open to try different genres and we believe that the appeal of French films and Han coincide", explained an official of PIFF on choosing Han as the PR ambassador.

He added that they have high expectations that Han will help in the cultural development of both countries.

The 26-year-old actress will attend the appointment ceremony as well as a reception on Saturday.

Born Lee Ji-hye, Han made her debut as a supermodel in 2001 and has since appeared in many dramas and films such as "Summer Scent" (KBS2, 2003), "Sweet 18" (KBS, 2004), "My boyfriend is type-B" (2005) and "East of Eden" (MBC, 2008-2009).

Cinefrance, which began in 2006, introduces French movies to the audience under special programs, previous ones including the 'Juliette Binoche Program' or 'Director Park Chan-wook's Carte Blanche'.
