2018 Asian Games Mascot: Funny, Character and Adorable
The presence of the mascot has become one of the sweeteners in every prestigious event at the international level, such as at the Asian Games. No exception is the 2018 Asian Games Mascot. The Asian Games mascot is usually a fictitious character that is usually based on the native animals where the Asian Games are held. It can also be based on fictional human figures. The existence of a mascot has an important function. Because, the mascot was used to help publish the Asian Games to a young audience.
The soul of “Energy of Asia” extends to the diversity of cultures, languages and historical heritage. When all these elements come together, this will be the main force that the world counts on. This is also found in the values held firmly by Indonesia, home to hundreds of ethnicities with so many different languages. The Founding Fathers of the Indonesian nation have envisioned a strong and united nation under the philosophy of Unity in Diversity.
It is with this diversity and unity value that Indonesia introduces 3 pieces of 2018 Asian Games Mascots with different energies, representing the energy contained in the Asian Games, namely:
1. Bhin Bhin
