Jeonju Cultural Foundation Shares Harmony of Food and Humanities with Citizens

The Jeonju Cultural Foundation (CEO Choi Rak-gi) announced that they will be hosting a weekly lecture program titled 'Tasting Korean Stories in Jeonju' at the Korean Traditional Culture Center from July 2nd to 16th. This lecture, which is in its 5th year, aims to share the cultural value and stories of Korean food with citizens and will be conducted free of charge.

The theme of this special lecture series is 'Harmony (화)', a concept that goes beyond the harmony of food to encompass the fusion of people and culture. The lectures will be structured around various keywords such as Hallyu, K-Food, and culinary tourism.

Any Jeonju citizen can participate in the lectures without prior registration, and they will begin at 7 p.m. Following the July lectures, additional special lectures are scheduled for September, anticipating continuous participation from citizens interested in Korean food.

CEO Choi Rak-gi stated, "Korean food is a culture that goes beyond mere sustenance, embodying our lives and spirits," and expressed hope that through these lectures, citizens will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Korean food and enjoy it as a cultural experience.
