Gangnam Global Festa brings K-culture experiences to foreign visitors

Gangnam, the lively Seoul district that became renowned worldwide due to its vibrant K-pop scene and affluent lifestyle, will undergo a cultural transformation later this month. The Gangnam Global Festa will take place on October 21, from 1 to 5 p.m., at Gangnam Square, adjacent to Exit 11 of Gangnam Station. This event will bring together international visitors and local residents for an afternoon dedicated to Korean culture and international exchange.

The primary objective of the Gangnam Global Festa is to introduce visitors to Korea's traditional heritage and modern cultural trends, while simultaneously fostering connections among individuals from diverse backgrounds. A dedicated K-culture experience zone will feature a variety of interactive activities, including the creation of traditional Korean gat keychains, the preparation of dalgona candy, the crafting of norigae ornaments, and the design of keychains with names written in Hunminjeongeum, the original Korean writing system.

In addition to hands-on activities, visitors will have the opportunity to receive face paint, adding a vibrant touch to their cultural immersion experience.
