Goyang Goyangi is a cat character that first appeared as Goyang's official mascot in 2012. In 2023, the city replaced it with a Gawaji rice character, and Goyang Goyangi went unused for some time.

Goyang Goyangi returned in July 2026. The city brought it back with the launch of the ninth popularly elected local administration. The returning Goyang Goyangi, in the form of a large costume, appeared in city promotional videos and the collaboration video with Pengsoo. Goyang's official mascot, unused since its 2023 replacement, is once again promoting the city.

Besides Goyang Goyangi, Goyang's characters also include Gawaji Byeopssi, Haemi and Pai.
