My K-Ribbon Selection Experience

K-Ribbon event exhibits cultural products
that possess Korea's unique cultural values

Ever since I became a Korean Cultural Center (KCC) supporter, the exhibit that happened for 7 days was the biggest event I've taken part to. Last November 2-8, Korean Culture and Information Service, in partnership with KCC, held it's K-Ribbon Selection 2016 at the Shangri La Mall. The said event aims to promote South Korea's cultural products through food, fashion, crafts, and contents.

FOOD

Aside from the cultural products being displayed, an open kitchen event was held for 2 days (November 5-6) for the people to get a taste of Korean food. The food offered were Samgyetang, Rice Balls, Honey Garlic Chicken, Bulgogi Sandwhich, and Bibimbap. "Spin N Win" event was being held as well, where visitors can get postcard or seaweed crisps depending on the result they'll get on the roulette.

FASHION

Hanbok is Korea's traditional attire. During the event, various hanbok were displayed from traditional ones to modern ones. 

     

Aside from the displays, people can take a photo wearing a handok at the AR section, were visitors can choose from 8 different attires in a monitor and all they have to do is align their face at the camera and have their photo printed on the spot.

CONTENTS

Through the VR section, people can come across 3 Korean traditional paintings made during the Joseon Dynasty, people need to find the 3 domes and at the ceiling of that dome they can see the paintings. One of the paintings being showed was the "Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks".

Kyaa!
That's me guiding one of our visitors :)

K-popers can also view some music videos of their favorite group at the K-pop area.

What makes this event extra special to me is the time I spend with my co-KCC supporters, no matter how tiring the event is we still get the chance to cheer each other up and have a never ending selfies whenever we can. And I'm glad to have meet new friends through the event, Koreans and Filipinos alike.
