Mexican broadcasters TV Azteca and Imagen Television shone a light on Korea's cultural and technological advancements during three special documentaries aired from Thursday to Saturday, in time for President Lee Jae Myung's state visit to Mexico. Produced in collaboration with Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, these programs delved into the origins of Korean cultural influence through the lens of independence hero Kim Koo, and explored how Korean society is preparing for an era of human-centered artificial intelligence.
TV Azteca's "Kim Koo: The Dream That Conquered the Planet" (broadcast on Saturday) positioned K-culture as a result of long-term investment in education and culture rather than a fleeting trend. The documentary also traced historical connections between Korea and Mexico, highlighting the 1,033 Koreans who migrated to Yucatan in 1905 to support Korea's independence movement.
Imagen Television's "The Bet That Changed Korea" (broadcast on Thursday) examined how traditional Korean concepts such as "jang" and "hanbok" continue to shape the nation's identity and soft power.
