'K-Heritage Day' Held for Diplomatic Envoys in Korea

Ambassadors from 18 Countries to Attend
Lecture and Workshop on Buncheong Ware

Ambassadors to Korea listen to a gold foil lecture at last year's "K-Heritage Day."

Korea National University of Cultural Heritage will host 'K-Heritage Day' on May 14 at the K-Heritage International Center, inviting diplomatic envoys residing in Korea.

This is a lecture program introducing the value of national heritage to foreigners residing in Korea. The theme for this year is 'The Modern Inheritance of Korean Buncheong Ware.' Professor Choi Seongjae from the Department of Traditional Arts and Crafts will discuss the history and formative characteristics of Buncheong ware, as well as its potential for modern inheritance. After the lecture, participants will take part in a hands-on session, engraving patterns onto Buncheong pen cases using a bamboo knife.

Ambassadors, their spouses, and diplomats from 18 countries—including Greece, New Zealand, Lithuania, and Lebanon—will attend the event.

Since 2023, Korea National University of Cultural Heritage has been running the 'K-Heritage Academy,' providing education and exchanges on national heritage. This year as well, the university will continue to offer seasonal courses for international students and programs for foreign professionals residing in Korea.
