KKN Gurugram Desk | Indian actress Hina Khan, widely known for her compelling work in both television and films, has achieved a new milestone in her professional journey. 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.
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.
To celebrate her new role, Hina embarked on a cultural and experiential tour of South Korea. Through her Instagram stories and posts, she offered fans an immersive glimpse into:
Traditional Korean heritage sites
Modern cityscapes of Seoul
Local cuisines and street food experiences
K-beauty rituals and fashion insights
Her photos received massive engagement, drawing praise from both Indian fans and Korean followers who appreciated her respectful exploration of the country’s traditions and contemporary lifestyle.
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.
Social media exploded with supportive comments after Hina’s announcement. Many fans hailed her as an “inspiration”, especially considering her ongoing battle with cancer.
Some popular comments include:
“From fighting cancer to promoting international tourism—you’re unstoppable!”
“Representing India on a global stage. So proud of you, Hina!”
“You’re beauty with true strength. Keep shining.”
Her fans, lovingly referred to as the “Hina Tribe,” have always admired her for her authenticity, style, and transparency, and this role has only deepened that connection.
In a heartbreaking yet courageous revelation earlier this year, Hina Khan confirmed that she is fighting Stage 3 breast cancer. Despite her diagnosis, Hina has remained vocal and active on social media, using her platform to:
Raise awareness about breast cancer detection
Encourage followers to prioritize regular health checkups
Share updates on her treatment and recovery
She has become a source of motivation for many, especially young women dealing with similar diagnoses. Her candid posts about the highs and lows of chemotherapy, mental health, and body positivity during illness have been widely shared and appreciated.

Her evolution from a household name in Indian television to a style icon and global brand ambassador showcases her versatility and tenacity.
Speaking at a promotional event, Hina said:
“Travel, culture, and people—these are the three things that bring the world closer. Through my association with Korea Tourism, I hope to encourage cultural exchange and inspire more Indians to explore the richness of Korean life.”
She also expressed a desire to explore future projects involving Indo-Korean creative collaborations, possibly hinting at joint film or web content in the coming years.
Tourism boards globally are increasingly relying on influencers and celebrities to create emotional and visual resonance with travelers. KTO’s decision to rope in Hina Khan aligns with its vision to:
Capture Indian women travelers aged 18-45
Leverage Hina’s pan-India appeal across TV and digital platforms
Create authentic storytelling around Korean travel experiences
Her involvement is expected to boost South Korea’s position in the Indian outbound tourism market, which is projected to grow rapidly post-pandemic.
Hina Khan’s latest achievement as the Brand Ambassador of Korea Tourism is not just a professional accolade—it is a testament to her personal strength and influence.
In the face of adversity, she continues to inspire millions with her courage, grace, and global outlook. From the world of daily soaps to international stages, Hina’s journey is one of resilience, recognition, and rising beyond limits.
