Kim Ji-ho Named Seoul Tap Water PR Ambassador

Actress Kim Ji-ho has been named PR ambassador of the Seoul tap water brand "Arisu". Kim will begin her duties as a PR ambassador Sept. 1, when the Arisu Festival--aimed at promoting the safety of tap water in Seoul--will be held in front of Seoul City Hall.

An official from the Office of Waterworks of Seoul Metropolitan Government said the office wanted the PR ambassador to be a married woman who cared about the well-being of her family. Kim's duties will include promoting Seoul tap water as part of events marking the 99th anniversary of tap water in Korea. He added that Kim will likely contribute to promoting the clean and safe tap water of the country's capital city.

Kim says the appointment made her once again realize the importance of tap water in everyday life. She promised to the take the lead in providing the public with accurate information on tap water as a homemaker rather than as a celebrity.

The Office of Waterworks also named as tap water PR ambassadors child-actors Jung Da-bin and Park Gun-woo, as well as singer Kim Heung-kuk and show host Kim Yong-man.
