Todeogi, the representative character of Gimhae, Gyeongnam, and its honorary public relations director, promoted Gimhae at the ‘Local 100, Local-ro Campaign’ event hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held in Miryang on the 21st.

He informed not only visitors but also Minister Yoo In-chon, who visited Miryang, about the Year of Visiting Gimhae 2024, the National Sports Festival and the National Para Games, as well as the East Asian Cultural City events.

Todeogi is a character modeled after a duck-patterned pottery from the Gaya period excavated from the Mangdeok-ri tumulus group in Juchon-myeon, Gimhae, and was named Todeogi (土deogi) to signify that it came from the earth (soil).
