Incheon's New Geomdan and Yeongjong Districts Put Mascots Front and Center

Two new autonomous districts launched in Incheon on July 1, 2026. Geomdan District split from Seo District, and Yeongjong District split from Jung District. After their launch, both districts made mascots the face of the district.

Geomdan District put its signature mascots Geomi and Danbi at the front of its events. In July, it ran a Geomi and Danbi promotional booth at the taping of the Geomdan District episode of KBS's National Singing Contest, and it shared the news on its website on July 14. In October, marking 100 days since its launch, it promoted Geomi and Danbi along with the district's vision through a quiz event on its website. Geomdan District announced the event on October 12. The new district made its mascots its face at each event.

Yeongjong District introduced its new mascot Yeonggeuli. On August 6, it posted basic and variant images of Yeonggeuli as AI and JPG files on the symbols page of the district website. On October 17, it ran a Yeonggeuli photo zone at the Yeong ONE Festival, the district's first festival celebrating its launch, held at Seaside Park. The new mascot greeted visitors at the district's first festival.

News about the two districts' mascots was posted on each district's website in turn.
