Korea, portrays the friendly side of a tiger, which is present in many Korean
legends. The mascot's name was chosen from a list of 2,295 names submitted by

common masculine diminutive. The Olympic rings adorn the neck of Hodori, and he
wears a "Sangmo" hat from a traditional farm dance. The streamer on his hat in
the shape of an S stands for Seoul.
