The main character, the "Hama" emoticon, was created to promote overall awareness of Haman-gun’s environment and proper waste separation. Following recent intuitive administrative trends, it was designed based on Haman → Hamani → Hama. To clearly represent that it is a Haman-gun character, the chest and face feature the Aragaya flame pattern, and it carries the Ara Hongryeon magic wand that purifies the environment.

The Hamani emoticons express 16 different emotions such as love, congratulations, and gratitude by incorporating Haman-gun’s specialties and ecological tourism resources, including Haman watermelons and Haman dried persimmons, beyond just environmental themes.

The Haman-gun Susubakbak character emoticons have received praise for well integrating local tourism resources, such as being set against the backdrop of the sunset in Agyang or depicting rowing a ferry boat.

An official from the county stated, “Through the Susu and Bakbak characters, we will familiarize people with Haman-gun’s ecological and cultural tourism,” and added, “We plan to frequently share Haman tourism news through the ‘Haman-gun Environmental Informer’ channel, so we hope it will be very helpful to those interested in traveling to Haman.”
