POSCO E&C Supports Korean Culture Education Content in Vietnam

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] POSCO Engineering & Construction is spreading Hallyu culture by supporting Korean cultural education content in Vietnam in collaboration with the Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange.

On the 17th, POSCO Engineering & Construction held an opening ceremony for the Creative Room, a complex cultural space, at Tran Hung Dao High School in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Vietnam, attended by key figures including the Director of External Cooperation of the Ba Ria-Vung Tau Provincial Department of Education and over 140 students.

The Creative Room is a complex cultural space designed to enhance students' creative thinking. Through equipment such as beam projectors, screens, speakers, and PCs, students will be educated on Korean traditional dance, Taekwondo, K-POP dance, and K-quarantine measures.

The Korean cultural education video content was produced in 19 episodes by Happy Builder, a POSCO Engineering & Construction university student volunteer group selected in March, who took charge of the entire process from planning to filming by showcasing their talents and creativity. Going forward, students at Tran Hung Dao High School will experience Korean culture through YouTube videos in the Creative Room.

Happy Builder has been spreading Hallyu culture directly to local youth overseas every year, but due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the program has shifted to an on-tact (online contact) method.

Educational supplies necessary for each subject, such as drums, drones, Taekwondo uniforms, as well as K-Pop and movie/drama DVDs, were supported by POSCO Engineering & Construction and the Foundation.

The Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, the area of this activity, is where POSCO Engineering & Construction is carrying out the Long Son petrochemical complex construction project, including three ongoing projects: oil storage facilities, port, and site development.
