Gimpo Redesigns Posu and Pomi as Baby Characters Called Gimpo Aegiz
Posu, created for social media in 2015, takes on a baby look after 10 years. Merchandise is sold at the Aegibong exhibition hall.
Gimpo City Hall, Gyeonggi Province, redesigned its official characters Posu and Pomi with a baby concept in January 2025. The new group name, Gimpo Aegiz, adds "aegi," meaning baby, to the city name Gimpo. Gimpo Aegiz has four members: Posu, Pomi, Arureu and Pori. All four are drawn as babies.
Posu is a character the city of Gimpo developed for social media in 2015. It later became the city's official character, used for merchandise and to promote city policy, and it also took part in character diplomacy. The 2025 redesign changed Posu's look 10 years after its creation.
Merchandise featuring the redesigned characters was also released. Gimpo Aegiz goods, including a Pomi plush blanket, were sold at the Aegibong exhibition hall.
The city posted details of the redesign in the news section of its website on January 24, 2025, and set a goal of expanding outside collaborations. Other Gimpo city characters include Gimpo Mom-e Ssok, Gochyoni and Pochi.
