A Fresh Cultural Experience in April

Approximately 40 undergraduate foreign students from 16 countries participated in the event, which was conducted in English and Korean.
The program began with a visit to the Korea Food Grand Master Center, where students learned about traditional Korean snacks by making rice candy and wrapping it in traditional Korean cloth.
Following this, students visited Bukchon Hanok Village, where they enjoyed the traditional and modern aspects of Korea, strolling through Hanok buildings and quiet alleyways while appreciating the spring atmosphere filled with blooming cherry blossoms.
Lastly, students enjoyed a Nanta performance in Myeongdong, featuring dynamic performances and a lively atmosphere, providing them with an opportunity to experience traditional Korean arts.
A student who attended the event expressed, "Having resided in Korea for three years, this enjoyable cultural experience is a first for me. I look forward to attending the event again next semester."
Meanwhile, the Global One-Stop Service Center actively operates various programs, not only to introduce Korean culture to international students but also to enhance their job readiness skills through Career Development Programs and TOPIK Prep-Programs.
