Where was the beginning of the Korean Wave in Korea?
Korean culture can be seen as the convergence of unique culture and Western culture.
It can be thought that the beginning of the Korean Wave began in Hannam-dong, where cultural exchanges between Korea and abroad are active, and Hannam-dong shows a unique culture of Hannam-dong by combining American culture from U.S. military units in the past with Korean culture unique to Hannam-dong.
In other words, Hannam is the first test base where a new foreign culture is localized. Therefore, in Hannam-dong, to lead the trend in the sensitive era of trends, it is also a place where Samsung and Hyundai, the representative companies of Korea, compete for culture. It can be thought that the Korean Wave was born based on this unique culture of Hannam-dong.
It is a tour where you can check the development process of culture by looking at the modern change of the craft called Najeon Chilgi through the traditional Korean crafts, Najeon Chilgi.
