There are four categories: potential Torch Relay routes, Torchbearers, mode of transportation and creative content in promoting the event.

Soohorang, the mascot of PyeongChang 2018, took its motif from the white tiger. The tiger has been a familiar figure in Korean folk tales as a symbol of trust, strength and protection. In mythology, the white tiger was viewed as a guardian that helped protect the country and its people. The mascot’s color also evokes its connection to the snow and ice of winter sports.
The name “Soohorang” has additional significance. “Sooho“, the Korean word for protection, alludes to the protection of athletes, spectators and other Games participants.
“Rang” derives from the Korean word “ho-rang-i“, which means tiger. “Rang” also appears in “Jeongseon Arirang“, the traditional folk music of Gangwon Province, where PyeongChang is located.
