Singer Rain<\/strong> has been named PR ambassador for Korean food. The Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries appointed Rain<\/strong> on July 13 at the Gwacheon Government Complex. Over the next year, Rain<\/strong> will appear in video materials publicizing Korean cuisine and attend major events related to Korean food.<\/p>\n

Rain<\/strong> said, "To me, Korean food is like a mother and my primary instinct. While holding overseas concert tours and filming movies, I always wished that Korean food was more competitive so that more people could enjoy it. I’m thankful for this opportunity to publicize it". <\/em>The singer added, "Chinese and Japanese cuisines are very popular abroad compared to Korean cuisine. I want to publicize the health benefits of Korean food so that people all over the world can enjoy kimchi and tteokbokki".

Rain<\/strong> says his favorite Korean dish is tteokbokki, which he said made a perfect snack that he used to enjoy while at school.<\/p>\n

The minister for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries<\/strong> expressed his appreciation to Rain<\/strong> for taking on his new role and said he hopes that, with ‘Rain"s help, Korean cuisine will become as big a star as Rain in the global arena. He also pledged active support to ‘Rain"s overseas fan meetings by treating his fans to Korean delicacies.<\/p>\n

The appointment plates that were given to Rain<\/strong> that day were produced in the form of a roll and ceramic pot to publicize traditional Korean culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A ministry official said the ministry chose Rain<\/strong> as PR ambassador<\/strong> in a bid to nurture Korean cuisine<\/strong> into a global industry and globalize its taste so that people all over the world can enjoy it.<\/p>\n
