Korean Style



Korea is..
With top industries in IT, semiconductors and mobile phones, Korea is thought of by foreigners as a nation of cutting-edge technology.
But most foreigners are missing out on a larger part of Korea.
According to a survey conducted last year by Anholt-GMI of 25,000 people worldwide, out of 38 countries, Korea ranked 32nd in brand value. The people of the world rate Korea similarly to countries such as Egypt and South Africa.

We must raise international awareness of Korean culture

Korean culture is the way to raise Korea's national brand value and status.
Korea must become a cultural superpower through products that are based on tradition. Koreanstyle is an attempt to make Korean traditional culture into a recognized brand. In order to raise international awareness of Korea, we have introduced a broad spectrum of traditional culture.
Now, more steps must be taken in order to promote Korea.

What comes to mind when people think of Korea?
Chinese opera is the international image of Chinese culture and kabuki is the international image of Japanese culture. So, what is Korea's international image?
We must find cultural traditions that can symbolize Korea, which people will bring to mind when they think of Korea.
We are trying to use those traditions in order to create Korea's image and explore the potential of developing those traditions into industries.
