[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Singer Hongja, widely known from the TV audition program ‘Tomorrow is Miss Trot,’ has been appointed as the public relations ambassador for Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do.

According to Haenam-gun on the 5th, singer Hongja’s mother’s hometown is Bukil-myeon, Haenam-gun. She also showed special affection by visiting Haenam as an invited singer at the 1st Haenam Handsome Men Festival held last October and introducing her maternal hometown.

Due to this connection, after recommendations from the Bukil-myeon hometown association and others to appoint Hongja as an honorary ambassador, a commissioning ceremony was recently held at Haenam County Office.

Hongja plans to carry out various activities to promote the charm of Haenam, including county administration publicity, tourism resources, agricultural and marine products, and food, as an honorary position for the next two years.

Hongja said, “Haenam is like a hometown to me, so it is a great honor to be appointed as a public relations ambassador,” and added, “I will work hard to widely promote the taste and beauty of Haenam nationwide.”

Myung Hyun-gwan, the mayor of Haenam, said, “We thank Hongja for promising to use her precious talent and ability for the development of Haenam-gun,” and urged, “Please convey Haenam’s hidden charms to many people.”

Earlier, Hongja’s official fan cafe, ‘Hongja Sidae,’ purchased agricultural products worth about 12 million won through the ‘Haenam Miso’ shopping mall in April to support Haenam farmers and fishermen struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
