KSIF (President Lee Haiyoung, hereinafter ‘Foundation’) hosted the ‘King Sejong Institute Jiphyeonjeon Korean Language Class’ in celebration of Hangul Day, at Sujeongjeon Hall (previously Jiphyeonjeon Hall) and Heungbokjeon Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace, in conjunction with the Gyeongbokgung Palace Management Office of the Cultural Heritage Administration’s Palace Ruins Headquarters.

This event, which was held offline for the first time in two years due to COVID-19, was hosted on October 7, 14, and 21, with about 25 participating in the event each day.

The agenda for the ‘2022 King Sejong Institute Jiphyeonjeon Korean Language Class’ included a one-day Korean language class, a tour of Gyeongbokgung, as well as a program on Korean culture. In particular, this year’s event was hosted in connection with the ‘2022 Autumn Palace Culture Festival’ (hosted by the Cultural Heritage Administration’s Palace Ruins Headquarters, managed by the Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation / 10. 1. - 10. 9.), offering more diverse Korean culture experiences and attractions to those participating in the event.

According to a spokesperson for the Foundation, “This year’s event, which resumed after two years, was a meaningful occasion where international visitors hoping to experience the Korean language and culture could come and enjoy a variety of events in celebration of Hangul Day.”
