Girl's Day's Yura, rookie idol group (G)I-DLE, actress Park Jin-hee, and 8 others have been selected as Seoul Publicity Ambassadors.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 6th that it will hold the "2018 Seoul Publicity Ambassador Appointment Ceremony" at Sewoon Hall in Sewoon Arcade, Jongno-gu.
This year, a total of 11 honorees (including one group) — experts from a wide range of fields including broadcasting, architecture, culture, and the arts — will be appointed. Starting that day, they will serve for two years, promoting Seoul and its city policies.
The list includes menswear fashion designer Song Jiho, who has served as chairman of the Korea Fashion Designers Association and spread Korean fashion culture worldwide; architect Yoo Hyun-joon, who connects spaces with people under the belief that "architecture is people"; and makeup artist Jung Saem-mool, who seeks out distinctive beauty rather than beauty that merely follows trends.
Also selected were multi-percussionist Jung Gun-young, who communicates through music with people in society's blind spots; magazine editor-in-chief Park Ji-ho, who draws empathy through sincere writing and content; actress Park Jin-hee, who conveys messages on various social welfare causes; and interior designer Yang Tae-o, who introduces Korean beauty to the world.
Also joining as publicity ambassadors are Korean painter Kim Hyun Jung, who wittily portrays a 21st-century genre painting on the theme of "the Naesoong story"; Girl's Day's Yura, a beloved member of the popular idol group; illustrator Myung Min-ho, who translates warm everyday moments into drawings; and rookie idol group (G)I-DLE.
At the event, the city will present plaques of appreciation to broadcaster Park Soo-hong, model Jang Yoon-ju, and announcer Lee Eon-kyung for their active work this year as Seoul Publicity Ambassadors.
Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon said, "Those willing to generously share their talents and abilities for the citizens of Seoul have gathered here under the name of Seoul Publicity Ambassadors. I hope that together with these wonderful people who will represent the dreams and hopes of our citizens, we can build a Seoul where citizens are happy."
