Last year, the KKK celebrated its tenth anniversary. Since its founding in 2011, KCC has continued to create opportunities, events, and projects related to its goal of increasing awareness and understanding of Korean culture and promoting active cultural exchange between Korea and the Philippines.
For the past 10 years, KCC has been actively expanding the understanding and recognition of Korean culture in the Philippines through Pinoy Kpop Star, Korean Film Festival, Global Taste Korea and Korean Culture Caravan. And in the next 10 years, KCC plans to expand this goal by promoting Korean-Filipino cultural cooperation and Filipino culture in Korea.
KCC Director I. M. Young-A spoke about the cultural cooperation of both countries in his commentary, “If the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines has focused on presenting Korean culture in the Philippines for the past 10 years, then of course we will continue to do so. ... so in the next 10 years, we will also try to introduce Filipino culture to Koreans so that we can grow together through cultural exchanges between our countries.”
He also introduced the new theme of the Korean Cultural Center at the new location: “This year, with the opening of the cultural center, we are preparing several important projects on the theme of Philo-Koraboration. Murals by Filipino artists will be open to the public, showcasing "media art" created by artists from both countries. The next generation will take part in the "Korean Culture Caravan" and "Culture Street Festival" where people can experience the cultures of both countries. The Film Industry Experts Seminar is also looking forward to answering your questions.”
KCC is located at 59 Bayani Road, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. On March 25 last year, the doors of the KCC officially opened to the public, and no appointment is required to visit. But the KCC follows the recommendations of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and will therefore require guests to present their vaccination card before entering the building and undergo a mandatory temperature check. KCC is open from 09:00 to 16:00 Monday to Friday and every Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00.
