Hwaseong FC unveiled its first mascots, Mars and Po, on March 19, 2026. They are the first mascots for the club, which is run by the Hwaseong FC foundation. An introductory illustration released by the club shows Mars and Po together.

Mars is an alien creature character styled as the club's official cheerleader. News of the first mascots came in a club press release on March 19.

Along with the unveiling, the club runs dedicated mascot accounts on Instagram and Threads, and it said it plans to release character merchandise. The club website has a mascot introduction page.

The mascots have been active both inside and outside the stadium. Hwaseong FC held a mascot-themed event, "Happy Mars, Po-ever Day," for two consecutive home games in August. The event name also includes the names of both mascots.

The mascots also appeared at a pop-up outside the stadium. According to news shared by the club on October 7, the pop-up at Dongtan Metapolis Mall featured a large inflatable Mars and a mascot greeting. About 1,000 people visited the pop-up over four hours.
