The name is short for "Paju's pride." Its motif is the dove, a symbol of peace. It was chosen through a public contest in 2021 and began official activities in January 2022. As a costumed character, it promotes the ginseng and Jangdan bean festivals. It was the mascot of the 2024 Gyeonggi Province Sports Festival (3-meter sculptures at two sites).
