The Korean edition, officially sold in bookstores, will be sponsored free of charge to 2,000 university students majoring in sculpture nationwide.

Unlike previous books that focused mainly on text and images, this book incorporates multimedia features allowing readers to read, see, and listen. By scanning the voice QR code, readers can enjoy audio narration by a professional voice actor. Users can conveniently select the entire 12 chapters or specific subtitles to listen to. Additionally, by scanning the video QR code, readers can watch vivid on-site interviews with the sculptors.

Yoon Young-dal, Chairman of Crown Haitai Confectionery and Chairperson of the K-SCULPTURE Organizing Committee, said, "This will be an important step and milestone for K-Sculpture to expand its influence in the global art market. We will continue to strive so that K-Sculpture can broaden its unique artistic world and be confidently recognized and grow on the international stage."
