Jinrii 553 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 delete if this already posted It was revealed on February 24 that Hallyu idol groups SHINee and EXO will be appointed the honorary ambassadors of Gangnam on February 26 and 28 respectively. This seems to be an attempt to further promote tourism in Gangnam. Already acts such as the construction of a Tourism Information Center and the managing of a Gangnam city tour trolley bus were put into effect back in 2012, not to mention they approved effective as 50.8% (5,100,000) of foreign tourists made sure to visit Gangnam last year! With the help of SHINee and EXO as new ambassadors, it appears Gangnam will be even more attractive for tourists! The goal is to now attract 8,000,000 tourists annually. Starting next month, images of SHINee and EXO will be plastered everywhere, such as airport passenger terminals, as a means for publicizing Gangnam. Chief of Gangnam Shin Yeon Hee said, "As one of Gangnam's characteristics is being the hot spot for entertainment agencies, SHINee and EXO as honorary ambassadors will greatly help attract foreign tourists. Even in the future, we will use all our energy in vitalizing the tourism business in order to become a Gangnam that is the first choice in Korea's tourism." source: akp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimSimi 503 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Of course. They are Gangnam Unnies, so they will make perfect ambassadors for Gangnam's plastic surgery culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhaleWhisper 5,249 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Psy was never the ambassador? it used to be Super Junior Really I thought he was after Super Junior. Well he should be, I mean that probably would be the only reason I would go to Gangnam just to say I did when I got back. They're is way more interesting stuff to do in Korea than go look at rich people stuff. I can do that in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haus of Tzu:Lai 5,450 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 gangnam is pretty boring tbh. unless you're into high end boutiques/shopping/retail. coex mall doesn't seem to be doing that great either, last time i went they were renovating some parts of it and many stores had relocated elsewhere - it seemed pretty dead to me. not sure about now though. majority of the cultural (more interesting) stuff are north of the han river.
