The organization held an appointment ceremony on the same day, and presented her with a letter of appointment.

“Singer-actress Seolhyun is garnering much love from the public, and is highly anticipated to help establish a healthy election culture in our society,” said Kim Yong-hee, a secretary-general of the organization.

“I will try my best as a representative to encourage people to vote and promote such a healthy culture,” said Seolhyun.

The 21-year-old singer will have photo shoots for TV commercials and promotional material regarding the election.
