Special events, workshops mark the opening of the first “Korea Corner” in Romania next week

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Romania and the Romanian-Korean Studies Center from the Romanian-American University, together with the support of the Korea Foundation, will hold the grand opening of the first “Korea Corner” project in Romania on May 28-29.

“In the context in which 31 years have passed since the establishment of the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Korea and Romania, “Korea Corner” will become a heart of educational and cultural cooperation between the two countries,” reads the press release.

To mark the opening of “Korea Corner,” several events and workshops will be organized at the Romanian-American University in Bucharest next week.

The official opening will begin on Friday afternoon, May 28, with special performances and events - from Samulnori, a traditional Korean musical performance, to modern-day K-Pop dances. The program also includes a special exhibition, “Bojagi & Beyond,” inspired by a traditional Korean textile art with the same name, Bojagi.

Several cultural workshops are scheduled for the next day, May 29, which will give participants a glimpse of the experience of making traditional Korean fans and masks. Access to the workshops will be made by prior reservation.
