The two actors are actual residents of Hanam and a couple loved by many for their warm daily lives and sincere communication. During last year's Children's Day event, their modest appearance while touring the experience booths with their child left a deep impression on citizens. Jin Seon-gyu is often seen enjoying running at Misa Lake Park and along the Hangang Riverside Trail, approaching citizens as a friendly neighbor.
In particular, he has taken the lead in naturally promoting Hanam's charm by introducing Hanam's representative running courses through the YouTube channels of acquaintances such as singer Sean. The nickname "Hanam City's unofficial promotional ambassador" was also born thanks to these consistent activities.
The two actors, who have always expressed affection and trust for each other generously, appeared together as the "Admiration Couple" in the Ministry of Health and Welfare's low birthrate public campaign, drawing empathy from many by repeatedly expressing admiration while looking at their child. Their daily lives as a loving couple and warm parents continue to have a positive influence.
Jin Seon-gyu debuted on the theater stage in 2004 and gained public recognition with the love of ten million viewers for the 2019 film Extreme Job. He left a strong impression in various works such as the dramas Kingdom, Six Flying Dragons, the films Crime City, Confidential Assignment 2, and the musical Finding Kim Jong-wook. He was recognized for his acting skills by winning the Blue Dragon Film Award in 2017 and the Grand Bell Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2020.
Park Bo-kyung also began her career on the theater stage in 2002 and has delivered delicate performances in dramas such as My Perfect Secretary, Woo, the Queen, and Squid Game Season 2, as well as films like Pure Comic and Crime City 4, and the play Me and Grandpa. Especially in the recently concluded drama Riding Life, her immersive emotional acting heightened the tension of each episode, leaving a deep impression on viewers.
Jin Seon-gyu said, "Hanam is a city where my family lives together and a special place where you can fully feel the leisure of daily life and the beauty of nature," adding, "I am happy to promote the charm of this city to more people as a Hanam City promotional ambassador."
Park Bo-kyung also said, "Hanam is a good city to raise children with beautiful parks nearby, safety, and well-established educational environments," and added, "Since it also has cultural attractions such as high-quality busking and various performances, I will happily join in promoting the good aspects of Hanam."
Mayor Lee Hyun-jae of Hanam said, "I am proud that the two, who are loved by the public and have exemplary families, are citizens of Hanam," and stated, "I expect they will be a great force in enhancing Hanam's cultural dignity and city brand value."
