The mayor of Milan, the Italian hub of fashion, on Monday became an honorary Seoul citizen, pledging to cooperate with a design expo to be held in Seoul, officials from the Seoul metropolitan government said.
Milan Mayor Letizia Morati said after receiving an honorary certificate from Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon that her city "will participate actively" in the World Design Olympics to be hosted by Seoul in October, they said.

At least someone from a REAL hub.

Who needs honorary citizens to lead Korean fashion when Korea already has this guy?

i'd be EXTREMELY surprised if that ever happened. they probably just gave it to the italian mayor to encourage her participation and to sound like big shots. giving honorary citizenship to an english teacher would most likely annoy a majority of korea |
