On June 7, 2024 at 8:00 PM, the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in South Korea, the city of Jinju, the city of Niterói, and the Christ the Redeemer Sanctuary collaborated to carry out a videomapping projection event featuring traditional Korean attire, the Hanbok, on the Christ the Redeemer statue, which is considered a national symbol of Brazil.

The event commemorated the inauguration of the "Lights of Korea – Jinju Lantern Festival" exhibition, taking place from June to August at MAC Niterói, and the G20 Leaders' Summit scheduled for November 18-19 in Rio de Janeiro. The projection was particularly significant as it marked the first time the monument "wore" traditional attire from another country.

The Hanbok chosen for the projection was selected in consultation with designer Jin Hee Lee, who is an ambassador for Jinju silk. "The blue represents the birth of spring and life, being one of the five traditional Korean colors. On the Brazilian flag, it symbolizes the sky and rivers. The belt of the attire features the colors green, yellow, red, and blue, which are also present in the G20 logo, scheduled for November in Brazil. We hope that the projection of traditional Korean attire strengthens the friendship between Korea and Brazil," stated the South Korean designer.

"The videomapping projection on Christ the Redeemer is only allowed on special occasions, such as the first anniversary of the passing of Brazilian football hero Pelé, whose uniform was projected onto the monument. Permission for mapping the Hanbok was made possible thanks to the growing Brazilian love for Korean culture. I am immensely grateful for this," emphasized Cheul Hong Kim, director of the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil. Through this event, the diplomat expressed his wish for cultural ties between Korea and Brazil to deepen even further.
