Actor Han Sang-jin was selected as an ambassador for media communication in Busan.

Han Sang-jin was selected as an ambassador for media communication in Busan with his wife, BNK Sum director Park Jung-eun, and received a letter of appointment at the appointment ceremony held at the City Hall International Medical Center on the afternoon of the 16th.

The appointment of Han Sang-jin and his wife as promotional ambassadors was promoted to promote the status of Busan, which has grown into a global city brand, and to continue active communication with citizens, and the term is two years.

Han Sang-jin, who has continued his "all-round entertainer" activities in various fields such as dramas, movies, entertainment, and web content, has consistently shown special affection for Busan. He has been living in Busan for five years since his wife, BNK Sum women's professional basketball team coach Park Jung-eun's appointment, and has been deeply connected to Busan as a "second hometown" beyond his simple residence.

Han Sang-jin has personally practiced the philosophy that "the money earned in Busan is spent in Busan," and expressed his deep affection for Busan City by saying, "I am more proud of Busan citizens than actors." The Busan Metropolitan Government explained the background of his appointment as a public relations ambassador, saying, "The sincerity of Han Sang-jin, who has practiced love for Busan with his life, is the reason why he can represent Busan most honestly."

Han Sang-jin, who was loved not only in Korea but also in Asia such as Japan for his delicate performances in various works such as "White Tower," "Isan," "Son of Sol Pharmacy," "Deep Tree," "Yukryong Narsha," "National Wife," and "Judge from Hell," launched a web entertainment show named "Han Sang-jin in Busan" and communicated with citizens by promoting Busan through Busan MBC digital news "Hwayotting." In addition, he won the Rookie of the Year Award at the MBC Acting Awards in 2007 and the Outstanding Performance Award at the APAN STAR AWARDS in 2022.

At the 2024 Grime Awards, he won a special award for his film "Vivo," which he directed himself, and his ability as a director was recognized. "Vivo" has been honored at leading overseas film festivals, including the 2025 Hollywood Gold Awards Drama category, the Paris Film Awards and the New York Movie Awards, the Short Film category, and the Florence Film Awards Best Drama category, respectively.

Busan Mayor Park Hyung-joon said, "Coach Park Jung-eun, a women's basketball legend born and raised in Busan, and Han Sang-jin, an actor who chose Busan as his home base, are now working together as ambassadors for Busan," adding, "I am confident that the story you have shown in your lives will be a stronger message than any other publicity, and I look forward to being a company that grows together."

The Busan Metropolitan Government plans to continue communicating with citizens by introducing new content with Han Sang-jin through its official YouTube channel later. Han Sang-jin's unique pleasant talking and friendly yet honest charm are expected to add new vitality to Busan promotion.

Meanwhile, Han Sang-jin is also an MC of TV Chosun's "Medical Story Given Time" and Busan KBS' "Sasa Club."
