Cho Seunghwan, who is also an international environmental activist, holds the Guinness World Record in the field of "barefoot ice performance." The ice represents glaciers, and his bare feet standing on it symbolize the Earth suffering from global warming. Through his performance, he raises global awareness about the severity of the climate crisis and the urgent need for environmental protection.

In August, Cho Seunghwan broke the previous world record in China by five minutes, achieving a new record of five hours and twenty minutes, continuing his streak of world records. This particular challenge in Yangpyeong is especially meaningful as it aligns with the county's values of "eco-friendliness and sustainability."

Yangpyeong County Mayor Jeon Jinseon stated, "As the nation’s first eco-friendly agricultural special zone and Korea’s leading environmental city, hosting the '2025 Korea Eco-Friendly Farmers National Convention' in Yangpyeong will be a meaningful opportunity to share the future of sustainable agriculture and highlight Yangpyeong’s central role. I expect that public ambassador Cho Seunghwan’s barefoot ice performance will once again remind us of the severity of the climate crisis and raise awareness about the importance of environmental protection."

Meanwhile, the "2025 Korea Eco-Friendly Farmers National Convention" will be held from September 19 to 20 at Yangpyeong Sports Complex under the slogan, "Eco-Friendly Agriculture, the Most Beautiful Promise for Our Future." Eco-friendly farmers from across the country will gather to share information and technology on responding to the climate crisis and achieving sustainable agriculture. The event will feature a variety of unique programs exclusive to Yangpyeong, including exhibitions, hands-on experiences, competitions, and side events, welcoming visitors with a diverse and differentiated lineup.
