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.
