On the afternoon of the 19th, Seungkwan attended the commissioning ceremony held at the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Communication and Cooperation Center in Jeju City.
This ceremony was especially meaningful as Seungkwan, a former member of Jeju, was recognized for his contributions to promoting the region globally.
At the appointment ceremony, Seungkwan said, "Since I was a child, I have felt proud to be a Cheju Islander. When I had the opportunity to speak at the UNESCO Youth Forum last year, I decided to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
"I had a strong desire to introduce Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, where I grew up. I am deeply grateful to have been appointed as a promotional ambassador for Jeju."

Jeju Governor Oh Young-hoon said, "The world-famous artists that Jeju has produced are promoting their hometown.

"I'm happy to be able to convey my love for my hometown through this event," he said. Since his debut in 2015, Seungkwan has been appearing in various variety shows, photo shoots, and advertisements in Jeju.
In November last year, SEVENTEEN filmed their "God of Music" in Jeju.
A special performance video of "Music" was released at the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum and was one of the hot topics.
In his speech at the time, Seungkwan mentioned that Jeju was the first region in the world to be designated by UNESCO in three natural environment categories simultaneously.
In September, Pledis Entertainment, the management office of "SEVENTEEN", held a signing ceremony for a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Jeju Provincial Government to promote K-POP Jeju content.
The two parties will work together to promote the Jeju cultural tourism industry and K-POP Jeju content production, and to promote the development of Jeju Province and PLEDIS.
We plan to build a cooperative relationship to enhance the brand value of Entertainment.
