Festive Korea Foreword from Mr. BAEK Yong-chun, Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Hong Kong

We are proud to announce the official opening of the 11th Festive Korea, a vibrant festival full of rich and enjoyable Korean cultural programs. Since its launch in 2011, Festive Korea has provided an occasion to share various aspects and charms of Korean culture in Hong Kong.
Thanks to Hong Kong's efforts to prevent and control the epidemic, we can present a series of in-person events to Hong Kong citizens this year. The 11th Festive Korea will guide you through a variety of inspiring offline programs such as a marketplace, performances by world-renowned musicians and K-film screenings.
Culture plays a vital role as a bridge that connects people across borders, widens perspectives, and helps people from different backgrounds to understand each other better.
I believe that Festive Korea will provide precious opportunities for Hong Kong people to experience Korean culture and deepen their understanding of Korea. Furthermore, I have no doubt that Festive Korea will continue to play its unique role in enhancing the bilateral relationship and promoting cultural exchanges between Korea and Hong Kong.
The Consulate General of the Republic of Korea would like to express its sincere gratitude to the Government of Hong Kong SAR, all partner organizations, and artists for their genuine interest and generous support. We are very much looking forward to welcoming everyone to Festive Korea, and it is our earnest hope that Festive Korea will serve as an important stepping stone in bringing Hong Kong and Korea closer.
