Hangul Day marks its 100th anniversary... KB Financial Group sponsors Korean cultural experience program for outstanding learners at King Sejong Institutes around the world
KB Financial Group is sponsoring a cultural experience program for King Sejong Institute learners to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Hangul Day. The initiative allows international students to explore Korean history and traditional culture through guided tours in Seoul.
Why it matters
This program strengthens global soft power and cultural diplomacy by fostering deeper connections between international learners and Korean heritage.
This year marks 100 years since the Joseoneo Yeonguhoe (now the Korean Language Society) established Kagyanal, the forerunner of Hangul Day, in 1926. It was renamed Hangul Day in 1928, and since Korea’s liberation, October 9 has been commemorated as Hangul Day.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Hangul Day’s establishment, KB Financial Group is sponsoring a Korean cultural experience program so learners at the King Sejong Institute Foundation can experience firsthand the value of the Korean language and culture.
The King Sejong Institute Foundation is a public institution affiliated with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism that promotes the Korean language and culture through 273 King Sejong Institute locations in 89 countries around the world.
