Recently, Professor Seo Kyoungduk, an expert in Korean culture promotions, created a brochure to help promote the culture of South Korea. Written in English to appeal to a foreign audience, the brochure lists and explains several things that represent Korea, such as “안녕하세요” (Hello), Korean food, the traditional Korean house, hangul and hanji, and the hanbok.
In addition to these symbols of Korean culture, the professor’s brochure also contains a section on the “Hallyu” phenomenon and its steadily increasing popularity around the globe. In order to entice young readers to keep the pamphlet, Professor Seo Kyoungduk included Girls’ Generation as representative of “Hallyu”.
In response to the girls being featured so prominently in the brochure, SM Entertainment stated that “with Girls’ Generation participating in the Korean culture promotion brochure, we plan to expand and promote Korean culture more throughout the world.”

love the girl in traditional cloth
If this brochure is being given out at London Olympics, can someone tell me where about in London I can pick one up?!? Has anyone managed to pick one up (from Yeosu or London)?!?
Wow… This is definitely a must-have for anyu SONE! :D it’s mighty of the professor to include Soshi as THE representatives of Hallyu! :D
Seriously, this is an honor for the girls. In order to expand korean culture, out of all girl or boy groups, the professor included SNSD. This is great.. Hoho.. Surely, SNSD is getting well known around the world and they can help to expand korean culture.. Way to go SNSD..
i cannot even imagine the honor that the girls
and their families feel over being chosen as
representatives of korea on so many occasions.
they are not only idols and artists carrying the
message of music, they are ambassadors and
representatives carrying the message of their
country. i do not know artists that have taken
on this responsibility so well. they make their
country proud, and make us all want to know
more about their culture!!!
just because of GG’s appearance, the Korean Culture Brochure looks very beautiful and interesting in my eyes!
can anybody upload that brochure in HD??i wanna read it what it said in brochure and it already long time not seeing SNSD in traditional cloth T^T
Of course!
This is such a great idea. The girls are getting more exposure in the USA and beyond now thanks to the brochures. :)
I really think he did a good job on the brochure about promoting Korean culture..
and also putting in SNSD!
