KOREA FOUNDATION

In commemoration of the one-year anniversary of the ASEAN Culture House, 30 Hallyu fans from 10 ASEAN countries received a special invitation to spend a combined eight-day, seven-night stay in the cities of Seoul, Busan, and Gyeongju where they experienced traditional Korean culture and became more familiar with the home of Hallyu. During their stay, participants toured the Busan office of the ASEAN Culture House and carried out their mission to produce a video of their exchange with Korean university students before screening it to attendees during the first annual Korea Foundation Public Diplomacy Week. This special invitational event provided the opportunity for participants to create lasting memories of Korea. These efforts hopefully served as a key stepping stone in informing the global community about Korea, beyond the ASEAN Culture House and Korea Foundation.
