A special exhibition at Cheongwadae Sarangchae will allow visitors to experience the cultural strength of South Korea through the vibrant roots of K-culture. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on June 10 that the exhibition titled 'Palchaekchan: Regions Filled with K' will take place on the first floor of Cheongwadae Sarangchae from June to December.
The exhibition begins with the question, 'What are the roots of K that we talk about?' It highlights how the history, cultural arts, and unique cultural assets accumulated in various regions have laid the foundation for today's K-content and K-culture.
The first-floor exhibition hall will showcase the theme 'Regions are Filled with K,' presenting performances, cuisine, crafts, lifestyle culture, and tourism resources from the five major regions, all reinterpreted with a modern sensibility. In the media art room, immersive video content titled 'The Origin of K' will present the essence of Korean aesthetics, based on traditional patterns, the Korean hat (gat), peonies, Korean colors, and tigers.
Cultural events will be held every Wednesday at 12:10 p.m. during the exhibition period. The series will kick off with a performance by pianist and singer-songwriter Go Young-yeol on June 10, followed by performances from outstanding artists from the Youth Mic program, 'Artkudo,' and Mexican folk song performer Nansi Castro. More details can be found on the Cheongwadae Sarangchae website.
Additionally, on June 10, the second floor of Sarangchae will open a special exhibition titled 'Trajectories of Light' to commemorate the first anniversary of the people's sovereignty government. This exhibition will spotlight key policies from the past year, which have walked alongside the public as 'the light of the plaza,' and will showcase scenes and records of diplomatic exchanges that have built trust and friendship with people around the world through K-culture. A digital goods experience exhibition commemorating the first anniversary of the president's inauguration will also be held next to the souvenir shop on the first floor throughout June.
Cheongwadae Sarangchae aims to be a cultural space for meetings and communication, embodying the idea of 'an open sanctuary for everyone.'
