Join us on The Kulture Wave AI News as we dive into Korea’s cultural highlights. Let’s get started with today’s top story.
The Incheon National Maritime Museum officially opened its doors this week.
It’s the first maritime cultural facility established in the Seoul metropolitan area.
The museum boasts a variety of features–from a maritime culture hall and a special exhibition room to a children’s museum.
Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Kang Do-hyung expressed hope that the newly inaugurated museum will serve as a cornerstone in transforming Incheon into a world-class maritime city.
Four modern-era Korean films will be designated as National Cultural Heritage.
The Korea Heritage Service plans to register four films -‘Nakdong River,’ ‘Money,’ ‘The Housemaid,’ and ‘Sung Chun-hyang’ -as cultural treasures.
The agency says these films, all produced in the 50s and 60s, serve as valuable resources for understanding Korea’s modern-era society and will help future generations appreciate the significance of Korean cinema.
Korean and African youth will gather in Seoul this weekend for the ‘2024 Korea-Africa Youth Forum.’
The special gathering will be held on Saturday in Gangnam, under the theme, “The Future We Make Together: A Recipe for Collaboration.”
The event will feature African cuisine demonstrations along with discussions on African culture and history as well as on ways to further promote Korea-Africa cooperation.
Organized annually by the Korea-Africa Foundation, the forum offers a unique opportunity for young Koreans to engage with African youth and build meaningful connections.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more cultural updates and engaging discussions coming your way!
