Suwon has given popular girl group Rescene a new role ahead of the Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival, appointing its members as promotional envoys for the event.

The five-member group includes Liv, who comes from Suwon’s Guun-dong, along with Woni, Minami, May and Zena. The city had already appointed Rescene as Suwon ambassadors in June.

The festival re-creates in modern form the eight-day procession King Jeongjo made to Hwaseong in 1795 to mark the 60th birthday of his mother, Lady Hyegyeong. Its signature reenactment of King Jeongjo’s royal tomb procession begins on the 4th of next month, and the festival continues through the 11th.
