Lottery Ambassador also ‘Star Survival’… Lee Seung Gi Selected

*now translated*

‘Nation’s Younger Brother’ Lee Seung Gi will act as the Lottery Ambassador again. After last year, this will be his 2nd year of activities (as the ambassador).

The Strategy and Finance Ministry Lottery Commission announced on March 21st that Lee Seung Gi, who recently completed his term as the Lottery Ambassador at the end of February, has been selected again.

The eye-catching part was the star-studded Lottery Ambassador candidate pool (including Ha Ji Won, Lee Min Jung, 2AM etc.) which made the selection process more intense than ever.

There’s so much interest in the Lottery Ambassador because it’s an ambassador for a government department, and it involves public welfare activities, etc., which can all have positive impact on the celebrity’s image.

Eventually, after due deliberation, Lee Seung Gi who received favorable internal evaluation for his considerable contributions to the development of lottery’s role in public welfare while working as the Lottery Ambassador last year, was selected again.

Starting in May, Lee Seung Gi will appear in print ads as well as public TV and cable TV CFs. In addition to CF filming, as a member of the Happiness Sympathy Service Corps, he will take the lead in activities such as rural support and winter coal delivery, and make good use of the lottery fund in public welfare.

Lee Seung Gi’s model fee is kept strictly confidential. Although Lee Seung Gi usually receives a model fee of 600 million to 700 million won a year, but considering the nature of public welfare and the activities being held on an irregular basis, a Lottery Commission insider said that his model fee would likely be lower.

I’m too busy to translate this article right now. But I just wanted to share the good news first. 😛

Supposedly there was a lot of competition among big stars for the position, but they picked SeungGi again. There will be a new CF in May, and SeungGi will continue to participate in the volunteer corps as well.
