Olympic figure skating gold medalist Kim Yu-na has been chosen as the face of Korea's capital city, Seoul City announced Thursday.

As the city's 'global goodwill ambassador,' Kim will feature in TV advertisements that will be broadcast around the world.

In addition, she will also participate in the shooting of a sports documentary that is set to air in the United States.

At the event celebrating her appointment Thursday, she donated a jacket to be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to charity.

"We thank Kim for being a part of Seoul's global marketing efforts," said Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon, while attending the event.
