She has been officially named the Brand Ambassador for Korea Tourism, a recognition that celebrates her global appeal and her growing influence among Indian and international audiences.

At a time when she is also fighting a personal health battle—Stage 3 breast cancer—Hina’s achievement not only inspires but also demonstrates her resilience and global outreach.

 Hina Khan Announced as Korea Tourism Brand Ambassador

The announcement came through Hina’s personal Instagram handle, where she shared a series of elegant photos from her recent trip to South Korea. Along with the images, Hina expressed her deep admiration for Korean culture and how proud she feels to represent South Korea on a global stage.

“Becoming the Brand Ambassador for Korea Tourism is a proud moment for me. I’ve always been drawn to Korea—its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and of course, the worldwide popularity of K-Drama and K-Pop. I’m thrilled to share this beautiful journey with my audience,” Hina wrote in her caption.

 Promoting South Korea as a Destination for Indian Travelers

The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) expressed confidence in Hina Khan’s ability to enhance South Korea’s image as a travel destination among Indian audiences, especially millennials and Gen Z.

According to KTO:

“Hina’s widespread popularity and her powerful social media presence make her an ideal voice to promote Korea. Her personal charm and genuine interest in Korean culture will help Indian tourists relate to South Korea beyond the typical travel narrative.”

India has seen a surge in K-Culture enthusiasm over the last few years, with Korean dramas, music, beauty products, and cuisine becoming increasingly popular. With Hina as a bridge between cultures, KTO aims to tap into this growing interest and expand its tourism footprint in South Asia.
