Park Hae-jin becomes the face of Chinese foundation

Hallyu actor Park Hae-jin has become the model for one of China’s leading foundations, the “TGC Culture Fund.”

WM Company verified the details by saying, “Park Hae-jin has become the face of ‘TGC Culture Fund’ at the bidding of the Chinese Department of Commerce and Z Holding’s head honcho Zhou Fan,” said the agency representative.

TGC is a foundation established by the Chinese government, and this marks the first time that a Chinese government organization has picked a Hallyu entertainer as its representative.

The inauguration ceremony is set to take place March 9.
