On September 11, the Department of Cultural Tourism Management at Chonnam National University announced that it had held the "2025 Osaka Expo Visit and K-Culture Global Exploration" program, aimed at nurturing global K-Culture talents.

This exploration program, conducted as part of the Chonnam RISE project, took place in Osaka, Japan, over four days and three nights from September 3 to 6. Participating students had the opportunity to directly experience the global spread of K-Culture and strengthen their practical skills.

The students visited the Korean Cultural Center in Osaka and the Osaka branch of the Korea Tourism Organization, where they learned in depth about the status of K-Culture's expansion in Japan and the roles of each institution. In particular, by attending the Osaka Expo, a registered expo of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), they gained a deeper understanding of the significance of such mega-events-not only as exhibitions but also as platforms for presenting future visions and addressing global challenges.

Professor Park Hyoyeon, who oversaw the program, stated, "This program focused on developing practical skills in the cultural tourism industry from a global perspective, going beyond a simple field trip. I hope that by experiencing the latest global trends firsthand, students will grow into talents who will lead the future of the cultural tourism industry."
