Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin has been named goodwill ambassador for Seoul in the Chinese-speaking world. Lin rose to stardom with the part of Zi Wei in a popular Chinese TV soap opera "The Return Princess."
She has also appeared in the Korean-Chinese co-production "Sophie's Revenge" starring So Ji-sub, which led to her appointment. "I visit Seoul often for shopping and spa treatment," the Seoul Metropolitan Government quoted her as saying. "I will promote various aspects of Seoul in the Chinese-speaking world."
Lin, who came to Seoul to attend the 2009 Hi Seoul Festival on Monday, will stay in Korea until Saturday to enjoy the Hi Seoul Festival, trying on royal court clothes and making traditional masks. She is scheduled to visit Seoul City Hall on Wednesday for the appointment ceremony and donate some of her favorite items to the city.
