[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Tefal announced on the 7th that it has selected former national speed skating athlete Lee Sang-hwa as the Tefal brand model.


Lee Sang-hwa is the first Korean female speed skater to win a gold medal and holds the world record in the women's 500m speed skating event set in 2013.


Since marrying broadcaster Kangnam in October last year, she has been enjoying a sweet newlywed life and has showcased her thorough self-management and legendary athlete qualities through SBS’s "Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny."



Tefal stated, “We judged that Lee Sang-hwa’s confident and strong image, having reached the top in her field, matches well with our products known for their powerful performance,” and added, “Her family-oriented image as a newlywed who cares about her family’s health and happiness aligns well with our brand image, which led to her selection as our brand model.”
