[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] KGC Ginseng Corporation announced on the 1st that it sponsored Jeonggwanjang Red Ginseng Extract to 214 holders and honorary holders of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage in celebration of the 1st anniversary of the designation of ‘Ginseng Cultivation and Medicinal Culture’ as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The Cultural Heritage Administration has designated the cultural practice related to ginseng cultivation, processing techniques, and consumption, called ‘Ginseng Cultivation and Medicinal Culture,’ as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage. Since 2016, when intangible cultural heritage designation became possible in the field of traditional knowledge, this is the first in the agricultural sector.

KGC Ginseng Corporation, to commemorate the 1st anniversary of ginseng’s designation as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, sponsored ‘Jeonggwanjang Red Ginseng Extract’ again this year to the human cultural heritage holders who strive to preserve Korea’s cultural heritage.

‘Jeonggwanjang Red Ginseng Extract’ is a premium red ginseng product that allows you to enjoy the taste and aroma of Jeonggwanjang 6-year-old red ginseng, carefully selected by red ginseng masters.

Kim Ho-gyeom, Head of External Cooperation at KGC Ginseng Corporation, said, “Human cultural heritage holders are bridges connecting the past and present and important figures presenting the culture of the future,” adding, “We deeply thank the human cultural heritage holders who have devoted themselves to continuing tradition.”
