Korean Cultural Centre opens

The three-storey Korean Cultural Centre officially opened today on Sukhumvit Soi 12 in Bangkok. It is the 25th such centre in the world and the fourth in Southeast Asia, following Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines.

The 1,351-square-metre centre is aimed at promoting Korean culture, especially South Korean popular music, better known as K-pop, which has been a huge influence on Thai youths.
 
A number of activities will be held to celebrate the grand opening from July 4 to 11, including a course on Korean paper craft. There will also be a Korea-Thai Media Art exhibition from July 4 to 8.
