[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Suncheon Cultural Foundation (Chairman Noh Kwan-gyu) announced on the 5th that it will hold the exhibition "Old Waiting 展," where visitors can see Korean traditional costume embroidery, at Kim Hye-sun Hanbok Workshop, the 2nd Suncheon Creative Arts Village, from the 9th of this month to the 1st of next month.

She added, "I am pleased that through this exhibition, we can showcase the beauty of our embroidery techniques and the Hwalot, which carries the history woven into every thread of embroidery."
