KCC puts the spotlight on three core pillars in sustaining culture: people, language, and art
The Korean Cultural Center (KCC) is an organization in the Philippines established to foster mutual understanding, appreciation and collaboration between Korea and the Philippines, serving as a resource for Filipinos to learn more about Korean culture and heritage. This 2024, the organization is celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations between Korea and the Philippines with a stronger push towards appreciation, education, and cultural preservation.
Although Korean culture is at the forefront of major discussions on storytelling and production today, media is just one side of culture. And through the Korean Cultural Center’s continuing presence in the Philippines, it’s also no longer the only one Filipinos are looking at.
“As an organization, we view this milestone as an opportunity to strengthen cultural ties, by not only promoting Korean culture but collaborating with various aspects of rich Filipino culture,“ KCC Director Kim Myeongjin stated. To achieve this, the Center is rolling out several efforts this year in collaboration with Filipino arts and cultural institutions such as the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the National Museum of the Philippines, and more.
