Former coach Hiddink is friends with Yap van Zweden, the music director who began his term this year. When van Zweden received his appointment letter in January last year, Hiddink expressed his desire to serve as an ambassador for the Seoul Philharmonic. Both are from the Netherlands and are involved together in the 'Papageno Foundation.' Yap van Zweden and his wife established this organization in 1997 to support children with autism spectrum disorder.
