SEOUL, November 30 (Korea Bizwire) – The government opened an online metaverse-based showroom on Tuesday to help foreign “hallyu” fans learn more about South Korea and its culture amid the protracted COVID-19 pandemic.
“Korea of ​​the world” will feature various Korean culture articles and videos created by foreigners interested in culture from all over the world, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Culture and Information Service (KOCIS) said.
