Seosan City, South Chungcheong Province, held a live public broadcast of the EBS show "Moyeora Dingdongdaeng" at the Seosan Culture Center on May 22, 2025. It was a collaboration stage, "Lightning Man × Gati Osyu," featuring Lightning Man and the city's tourism mascots Gati and Osyu. Seosan City announced the broadcast on the city website on April 7.
Gati and Osyu are tourism mascots that Seosan City uses to promote tourism. In March of the same year, they won the grand prize at a mascot contest. Seosan City posted a photo marking the award in the city photo gallery.
On May 28, the city announced a content convergence strategy for Gati and Osyu. Seosan City created an ordinance on managing its tourism mascots and opened the Gati and Osyu trademark to small business owners. The goal is to increase the making and selling of mascot merchandise. The contest award, the broadcast stage and the trademark opening came within three months.
Besides Gati and Osyu, Seosan City's mascots include Haenuri and Haenari, and Uri and Duri.
