The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 21st that it has selected 8 teams for the second class of the 'Seoul Baby Ambassador' project, which supports childbirth.
The Seoul Baby Ambassador serves as a promotional model sharing parenting experiences in a friendly manner with citizens. It is part of the city's measures to address low birth rates.
The newly selected ambassadors include ▲ broadcaster Woo Hye-rim, who was a member of the girl group Wonder Girls and is now a mother of two ▲ Ahn Jung-eun's family, which informed about stroller running culture before childbirth ▲ the Keun-san family, which shares pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting benefits in a fun way as an Instagram cartoonist ▲ the To-Wa-Young family, which introduces benefits and information covering the period from pregnancy to parenting through their first child and unborn second child ▲ and the Do-jin-a-Nolja family, which shares comfortable outing information while enjoying cultural activities with the architect father and mother.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government stated that a total of 1,317 teams applied for this second recruitment, exceeding the 1st round applications (about 800 teams). The competition ratio is 165 to 1.
The 8 teams selected as ambassadors in the second class will utilize their stories to create various contents and promote Seoul's low birth policy.
Ma Chae-sook, head of the Women's Family Office of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, noted, 'I hope the birth support Seoul project gets closer to citizens through the voices of actual parenting families living in Seoul.'
