Yoon So-yi to Star in F1 Promotional Program

Actress Yoon So-yi will appear in a two-part program to promote the 2010 Formula One Korean Grand Prix, which kicks off on Oct. 22 in Yeongnam, South Jeolla Province.

Yoon spent last weekend attending the Formula One Shanghai Grand Prix in order to brush up on her knowledge of the sport in preparation for the program, which will introduce and promote Formula One in Korea where racing is not a mainstream sport. She will offer tips on how to fully enjoy the sport.

"I'm honored to participate in an international sports event", Yoon says. "I learned that Formula One is not just a racing franchise but an international festival. I'm glad to help introduce the sport in Korea, and I'm determined to do my best to promote the Formula One Korean Grand Prix".
