Actor Lee Wonjong has earned the public's love through his powerful presence in dramas such as "Rustic Period" and "The Great King Sejong," as well as films like "Nowhere to Hide" and "Hi! Dharma." Eunpyeong District expects that his friendly yet trustworthy image will greatly help in promoting the district externally.

He is a "true Eunpyeong resident," living in Jingwan-dong. As a local resident, he is considered the ideal person to authentically convey Eunpyeong's development and hidden charms. In October, even before his official appointment, he demonstrated his commitment to the community and local government by volunteering his voice for Eunpyeong's official promotional video.

Lee Wonjong is the third official ambassador for Eunpyeong District, following singer Kim Yeonja and dancer Aiki, who were appointed in 2021. The appointment ceremony took place on December 1 at Eunpyeong District Office, attended by the mayor and related officials.

Lee stated, "Such a grand welcome means there is much for me to do. It is a new and meaningful experience to become the face of Eunpyeong, where I live, and I will do my best as an ambassador so that residents can feel proud of their district."

Kim Mikyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong District, said, "The actor's reliable and friendly image, shown through various works, aligns perfectly with the warm and vibrant city image that Eunpyeong pursues. As a resident of Jingwan-dong, Lee Wonjong understands local issues, and together we will make Eunpyeong an even better city to live in."
