[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 7th, Jo Gyu-il, mayor of Jinju City, appointed the region's representative tourism character ‘Hamo’ as the city’s tourism ambassador.

Hamo is a character based on the natural monument otter inhabiting Jinyang Lake and Namgang River in Jinju. The name Hamo comes from the Jinju dialect word ‘hamo (meaning yes)’, which signifies ‘agreement’ and ‘positivity’.

Jinju City expects Hamo’s unique friendly and positive image to play a significant role in promoting city administration.

Mayor Jo Gyu-il said, “Despite the COVID-19 situation, Hamo has greatly contributed to promoting Jinju nationwide through SNS and YouTube activities,” and added, “I ask that Hamo continue to widely promote Jinju through interactive communication for the new leap forward in Jinju tourism.”
