Mascot
The mascot was inspired by the concept of the ancient Hwarang warriors and Princess Seonhwa.
The "Gyeongju World Culture Expo" mascot was created to introduce the spirit of the Hwarang and Wonhwa, based on tradition and ideology of the Korean people, including those of Gyeongju. The Hwarang is expressed via the image of a boy.

Wonhwa does portrays a different vibe from Hwarang, with the feminine sincerity of an older sister, while her bright young smile and white costume similarly show the warm and pure Korean heart and cultural pride.
