The BBC released the list of "100 Women of the Year" on its website today (3rd), explaining the reason for the selection of Kim Ye-ji, saying, "I received worldwide attention this year for my achievements in charisma and sports."
In addition, he added, "Kim's video spread on social media, and not only technology, but also ice-cold attitudes, unbreakable concentration, and customized glasses inspired by science fiction have become the subject of praise."
CEO Park Soo-bin, who founded the Staircase Smash Club, a non-profit organization to promote the right to move the disabled, was also selected as the "100 Women of the Year."
The BBC introduced that Park, a wheelchair user, created a "Stairway Restoration Map" to help the mobile vulnerable reach their destination more easily.
The BBC's "100 Women of the Year" list also includes Afghan refugee taekwondo fighters Zakia Qudadadi, U.S. Senator Susan Collins and British Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, who became the first refugee athletes to win a medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympics to give hope to refugees and people with disabilities around the world.
