Seungkwan, the popular singer and member of the renowned K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN, will be soon appointed as the new promotional ambassador of Jeju Island. Seungkwan is a native of Jeju Island, and so this appointment comes as a big achievement for the SEVENTEEN member.

On September 13, 2024, a Jeju province’s media outlet reported that the governor of Jeju province, Oh Young Hoon, is scheduled to visit HYBE Labels headquarters later today for an official appointment. 

The governor is visiting the HYBE Labels to sign an official agreement that will appoint SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan as a promotional ambassador of Jeju Island. It should be noted that Seungkwan is a native of Gujwa, Jeju-si, and Jeju Island, and this appointment as promotional ambassador of his native land comes 9 years after his debut. 

This new appointment marks a big accomplishment in Seungkwan’s career. The SEVENTEEN member is well known as a pure-blooded native of Jeju Island among fans. His father belongs to the Boo clan, a noted native clan of Jeju, and his mother belongs to the Jwa clan, another native clan of the island. 


Seungkwan, also known by his full name Boo Seungkwan, is a popular K-pop singer, songwriter, TV personality, and member of the worldwide popular boy group SEVENTEEN under the vocal team. He is also a member of SEVENTEEN’s sub-unit BSS with DK and Hoshi.
