(New York = Yonhap News) Correspondent Ko Il-hwan = Korean actor Sandra Oh attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in London, England on the 19th (local time) and drew attention.

The New York Post explained why Sandra Oh attended the funeral held at Westminster Abbey in London as a member of a condolence team led by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Treedo.

According to the New York Post, Sandra Oh joined the condolences as a recipient of the Order of Canada.

Created in 1967 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the promulgation of the Dominion of Canada, this medal is divided into Companion, Officer, and Member in order of rank.

Sandra Oh was named in the officer category in June in recognition of her contribution to the arts and culture sector.

Accordingly, the Canadian government formed a condolence group following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and included three recipients of the National Order of Merit: Sandra Oh, Olympic gold medalist Mark Tukesbury, and pop musician Gregory Charles.

Unlike other countries, countries such as Canada and the Commonwealth can send 10 condolences in addition to the summit.

Fans showed interest by sharing photos of Sandra Oh in funeral robes on Twitter, etc.
