The Seoul Jung-gu blog promotion team started activities last year, gathering people from various fields aged 20 to 60, including media department university students, those with public institution promotion team experience, photographers, and design artists.

They directly participated in the official blog revamp project, representing residents’ voices. Outstanding posts have been featured multiple times on portal site main pages, playing a key role as communication ambassadors who warmly share district news and stories about Jung-gu.

Seoul Jung-gu (Mayor Seo Yang-ho) is recruiting the 'Jung-gu Blog Promotion Team' again this year to actively promote district administration and communication through the blog.

Selection criteria comprehensively evaluate personal blog operation status, activity fields, and willingness to participate, with priority given to outstanding bloggers such as power bloggers.

The promotion team will start activities from the appointment date until the end of December this year, fully participating in content creation for the 'Promotion Team Stories' menu on the official district blog and freely engaging in activities. They will take part in blog design and menu improvement work, while creating diverse content related to Jung-gu such as cultural and tourism experiences, discovering restaurants, and exploring administrative sites, sharing these on the district blog and personal SNS.
