President Jang Young-su is presenting the certificate of appointment as Honorary External Public Relations Ambassador to Baek Kyung-yi.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] ‘Baekgyeongi,’ a character shaped like the sperm whale, the symbolic animal of Pukyong National University, will officially begin online and offline promotional activities as the university’s honorary external public relations ambassador.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, Jang Young-su, president of Pukyong National University, presented the honorary external public relations ambassador appointment certificate to ‘Baekgyeongi,’ created in the form of a large character costume, on the 3rd floor of the university headquarters.

Having received the appointment certificate, ‘Baekgyeongi’ will participate in producing online promotional content such as videos and take part in various offline events including campus picnics and admission fairs to promote Pukyong National University.

‘Baekgyeongi’ is a character modeled after the sperm whale, the symbolic animal of Pukyong National University.

The sperm whale is the largest among toothed whales, known for its intelligence and called the king of the sea. It embodies the spirit of Pukyong National University, which pursues infinite freedom and true truth.

‘Baekgyeongi,’ appointed as the honorary external public relations ambassador, was created from the design that won the grand prize in the nationwide character contest held by Pukyong National University last year.

The character design expresses the large and dynamic shape of the whale in a simple yet cute way, enhancing Pukyong National University’s friendly image.

Park Bo-seung, a student of the 13th Blue External Public Relations Ambassadors at Pukyong National University, said, “I will enjoy promoting by creating fun promotional content that delivers necessary information to students and citizens with Baekgyeongi, who symbolizes Pukyong National University.”
