Daegu Needs a Chiitan
I have an idea of crowdfunding a playful, silly mascot for foreigners in Daegu, and it could also be good to promote the city overall. It's ridiculous but also has great potential.
Japan, as many people know, has mascots for all kinds of things, from local governments to niche hobbies like cycling and hiking. And yes, Korea has mascots too -- but does any Korean mascot have the energy of Chiitan?
This is the most Colorful Daegu non-Daegu thing I've ever seen.
No city in Korea but Daegu has the energy to power a cute foam chaos like this. The foreign community should put its heads together to come up with the perfect mascot that blends the expat experience and local verve, and we need to suit and up send our avatar out into the city.
I'm mostly serious about this.
