PyeongChang 2018 mascots begin national tour

The white tiger Soohorang and the Asiatic black bear Bandabi begin their national tour as the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic mascots.

Soohorang and Bandabi will make promotional appearances in various cities and festivals across the Korea raising awareness of the Olympic Winter Games. 

The tour began at Hoenggye Elementary School in PyeongChang where 150 students were able to witness their first public appearance. This event served as an opportunity for students to experience the various sports of the Olympic Games including a virtual reality experience for Ski Jumping. 

Professional athletes, including the 2010 Olympic figure skating champion Yuna Kim, joined the event working as daily instructors showing students how to better perform the sports.
