A forum for discussing Korea’s image in the eyes of the world will be held in Seoul from Aug. 28-29. Culture Communication Forum 2018, organized by the Corea Image Communication Institute, will invite opinion leaders from around the world to “experience the essence of Korean culture and get a chance to promote their own culture,” organizers said Tuesday.
Delegates from the participating countries are: US comic book writer Amy Chu; best-selling author Eran Katz of Israel; Sebastian Masuda, an art director from Japan; founder & director of Multimedia Art Museum Olga Sviblova from Russia; first female professional jamon slicer Esther Sobrino of Spain; French director and actor Noemie Nakai; Indian filmmaker, art historian and photographer Benoy K. Behl; celebrity chef and patissier Janice Wong from Singapore; curator, writer and art critic Qilan Shen of China; and Kim Jung-ja of Korea, CEO of Bangawon & Jungyookpo.
The forum will release a survey on topics of Korea’s image to foreign visitors and what has contributed the most to its image today. Winners of the photo and video contests on what best represents Korea will be recognized and participate in the discussion. Participants from 21 countries submitted what they thought were images that capture the hidden charms of Korea. The two-day event will also have foreign participants experience Korea through visits to museums and palaces, as well as tasting Korean delicacies.
