‘Non-Summit' stars to promote ICLEI
The Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) announced Monday that it appointed two foreign entertainers ― Julian Quintart and Robin Deiana, currently featured in a local cable TV show "Non-Summit" ― as honorary ambassadors for this year's world congress of International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI).
This year's ICLEI world congress, a global network meeting of over 1,000 cities committed to build a sustainable future, will take place at Seoul's Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Seoul Plaza from April 8 to 12.
Quintart and Deiana, better dubbed their first name here, are from Belgium and France. They gained popularity after appearing on cable network JTBC talk show "Non-Summit."
The SMG said their first engagement as honorary ambassadors was to shoot an ad campaign for the ICLEI congress, adding that their footage will be launched over the media displays in bus satiations and subway stations in Seoul.
