Kim, who retired from figure skating after winning silver at the Sochi Olympics last February, became the sixth publicity envoy for the Winter Games.
The 24-year-old received a plaque of appointment as a publicity ambassador for the Games from Cho Yang-ho, chairman of the 2018 Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, during a ceremony at the Korea Press Center in downtown Seoul Tuesday.
In 2009, Kim served as a publicity envoy for PyeongChang's bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Others who hold the title of publicity ambassador for the PyeongChang Winter Games include Texas Rangers outfielder Choo Shin-soo; ballerina Kang Sue-jin; novelist Lee Oi-soo; Kwon Byeong-ha, former chairman of the World Federation of Overseas Korean Traders Association; and the classical music group Sejong Soloists.
