The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Hanbok Promotion Center are recruiting local governments to participate in the 'Autumn Hanbok Culture Week' and the 'Hanbok Culture Regional Hub Support' projects until the 7th of next month.

'Hanbok Culture Week' is a cultural festival offering experience, exhibition, and educational programs related to hanbok. This year's spring week was held from April 9 to 18, and the autumn week will take place from October 11 to 17. The two local governments selected in this recruitment will participate in the autumn week.

'Hanbok Culture Regional Hub Support' is a project aimed at expanding the benefits available when wearing hanbok nationwide. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Hanbok Promotion Center are recruiting two local governments to participate in preferential policies for hanbok wearers. Detailed information about the recruitment can be found on the Hanbok Promotion Center's website.

Local governments selected as collaborative cities for Hanbok Culture Week or as Hanbok Culture Regional Hubs will receive up to 150 million KRW in support. However, since the local governments must match the national funding with local funds, a project plan worth 300 million KRW per project must be established. The final selection results will be announced in early May after document and presentation evaluations.
