Jung Il-woo was recently selected as the model for "Bia Saigon Special," a representative beer brand of Vietnam. This appointment came after Jung praised Saigon beer in a video on his personal YouTube channel. The brand reached out to him after seeing the video, leading to this collaboration. On the 9th (local time), Jung began his first activities as the brand model. He was invited as a special guest to the "Special Night Hanoi" event held at the Vietnam National Convention Center in Hanoi, where he met with over 1,000 fans.
