  • The Preparatory Office released the promotional video on Oct. 2 to spotlight the APEC summit scheduled for Oct. 31–Nov. 1 in Gyeongju.
  • G‑Dragon, serving as honorary ambassador, fronts appearances by Park Chan-wook, Park Ji-sung, Jang Won-young, chef Ahn Sung-jae, and DJ Peggy Gou.
  • The video opens in a hanok-style restaurant to convey the message that the world comes together in Gyeongju.
  • President Lee Jae Myung briefly appears as an aircraft marshaller in a scene the foreign ministry describes as signaling South Korea’s orderly return to the global stage.
  • Dolphiners Films produced the 75-second spot, and its CEO said the president was included as the host’s representative without an overly authoritative portrayal.
