Jakarta=) correspondent Sung Hye-mi = "Unlike Jakarta, Indonesia has fewer opportunities to experience Hallyu Events in the provincial City. I just saw the EXO picture on the side of our Bus and I was screaming ''. "
Ambassador Kim Chang-beom told the Korean newspaper on the 8th (local time) that he had crossed the 1,000km Sulawesi Jakarta to Surabaya with promotional Bus and Korean food, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, for the past five nights and six days.
The embassy is not a one-sided way of promoting Korea, but rather a way of entering the locals, providing food and sights for Korea and creating Friends, saying, "Teman Korea Nang Jawa! I have a project.
It is a local word meaning 'Korea Friend, come to Java!'
The project team, consisting of the Embassy, the Korea Cultural Center, the Tourism Organization, the Korea Food & Drug Administration, and the Indonesia Food and Drug Administration, held various Events related to Korea in five cities from Jakarta to The Departure, Breves, Solo and Surabaya on the 2nd.
"It is the first time that a foreign embassy is doing an Event in Indonesia in this way, so I think I have received more attention because of 'freshness'," Kim said. "I was worried that people would not gather before The Departure, but rather too many people were crowded and had difficulty maintaining order."
"I traveled to City for 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours every day, but I was tired of being physically tired, but I did not know that it was hard for each City to be welcomed," he said. "I was tired of eating tteokbokki and chicken tteokbokki, which were handed out by local people in front of our promotional Bus, He added.
Ambassador Kim and the project team, Bus, both front and back, and side, were accompanied by the 'Tuko Nangjawa' project, Korea Tourism, K-Food, and the promotional materials of the ASEAN Special Summit.
In order to inform the young people of Indonesia about this Event, Yoo Tuber Jang Hansol (187,000 subscribers) from Popular Korean also made V logs by riding the same Bus.
"If the culture is finally interactive," Kim said. "If you are introducing K-food, K-pop and Taekwondo in one way, Hallyu fans will like it, but ordinary citizens will feel distance." "We watched Bus and Food Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation and waved."
The project team made an atmosphere of mutual cooperation by playing Arirang with the Indonesia instrument 'Gamlan' at the Cultural Event held in the Journey City and playing the Indonesia folk songs with Daegeum and Haegeum.
In addition to the Indonesia Maritime Coordination Department, 200 people, including college students and high school students, participated in the marine garbage collection campaign hosted by Chirbon, and picked up 1t of garbage in an hour. We invited the cyber diplomatic mission Vank to the Surabaya National University to promote Dokdo and the East Sea to students.
The Embassy of Popular Korea believes that the first project of the year, "Tuko Nang Jawa," has achieved its goal, and plans to review projects to visit other cities in Sulawesi next year.
