With the ever-growing popularity of K-Culture in the Philippines, the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC) in partnership with the Korea Tourism Organization Manila Office (KTO) presents a captivating visual journey: “Mga Kuha sa Korea,” a month-long travel photo exhibit set to run from Aug. 17 to Sep. 23 at the KCC Building in Taguig City.


Embracing the spirit of “Visit Korea 2023-2024,” a tourism initiative declared by the Korean government, the KCC dedicates the months of August and September to promote tourism in Korea through a series of events. 


“Mga Kuha sa Korea” is a photo exhibit that serves as a compelling invitation for Filipinos to explore the enchanting landscapes, vibrant cities, and unique cultural offerings of South Korea, all of which make it a must-visit destination.
Visitors to the exhibit will be treated to a diverse array of photographs organized in sections designed to cater to particular interests and preferences. 
For nature enthusiasts, there are sections dedicated to the four seasons, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Korea’s landscapes as they transform throughout the year.


Of course, no exploration of Korea would be complete without savoring its delectable cuisine. A dedicated section celebrates Korean food, including distinct specialties from various regions, offering a feast for the eyes and a treat for the palate. Additionally, the 2030 Busan World Expo section highlights the Korean government’s effort to bid as it showcases Busan, an industrial and cultural powerhouse of Korea. 

This section provides a sneak peek into the innovative and vibrant spirit of the Expo, piquing the curiosity of visitors from the Philippines.
Film enthusiasts will find themselves delighted with the inclusion of the 2023 Korean Film Festival section, themed “travel.” Through carefully curated films, the KCC aims to transport viewers to different cities and provinces of Korea, allowing them to experience the country’s essence through the mesmerizing world of cinema. More details about the 2023 Korean Film Festival will be announced soon.


Adding a personal touch, the exhibit features the finalists’ entries from the “I Was Here: Mga Kuha sa Korea” contest, where participants shared one of the fondest memories from their Korea trip. The contest winner will also be awarded during the exhibit’s grand opening on Aug. 17, making the event even more special and meaningful.


“Through this exhibit, we hope to be able to bring Korea a bit closer to you,” says KCC director Kim Myeongjin, encapsulating the essence of the exhibit’s mission. 
With the hopes of traveling to Korea be more accessible to many, the Korean Embassy is also launching the Korea Visa Application Center (KVAC), which will start operations on Aug. 14. KVAC will be located at the Brittany Hotel in Bonifacio Global Center, Taguig City.


Alongside “Mga Kuha sa Korea,” the KCC has lined up an exciting array of events for the months of August and September under the “Visit Korea 2023-2024” campaign.
