Additionally, young people and enthusiasts from various regions who enjoy and communicate through K-Culture will participate together, creating a space to delve deeper into and empathize with the diverse aspects behind Korean popular culture.

The program begins with a special talk with Kim Bo-ram, artistic director of Ambiguous Dance Company, who choreographed the dance for the song ‘Beom Naeryeonda’ by the band Naraeuchi featured in the Korea Tourism Organization’s promotional video. The forum proceeds through a total of three sessions, including the main theme session ‘K-Culture, Subversion and Reconfiguration.’

The first session is titled ‘The Two Faces of Hallyu Culture,’ the second session is ‘Post-Boundary Era, Urban and Youth Culture,’ and the third session is ‘Asian Youth Crossing Cultural Boundaries.’

Notably, Session 3, in which the ‘ME&TA’ team composed of Chosun University students Kim Hyun-jung and Son Na-yeon participates as research members, holds great significance as it is a session involving the Youth Asian Culture Research Group that directly creates, researches, and enjoys K-Culture in our region.

They are scheduled to present recent cases of various domestic and international cultural content production environments and artistic performances utilizing the Metaverse (3D virtual world).

The 2021 Asia Culture Forum, held on the 13th, can be viewed live from 10 a.m. on YouTube channels ‘Gwangju Cultural Foundation TV’ or ‘National Asia Culture Center.’
