KCC to launch first exhibit of 2014; highlights the Korean animation culture and characters

The Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines will launch its first exhibit for 2014 which will be highlighting the animation culture of Korea on February 7.

The exhibit, entitled ‘Korean Character Exhibition:  The Delight of Korean Animation Character World” will feature iconic tube characters such as Pororo, Pucca, Tayo, Canimal, Cloud Bread and Hello Jadoo.

The exhibit aims to celebrate the new Korean Wave, the K-Animation. Also, this exhibition will be launched to introduce a variety of Korean culture through the Korean characters and its products.

Unlike K-Pop, which relies on the popularity of its ‘idol’ stars, or K-Dramas which require a certain degree of cultural understanding, K-Animation can be directly appreciated by the world thanks to its fun and universal stories as well as cute, and lovable characters.

With this exhibit, the Korean Cultural Center will underscore the appeal of these Korean characters not just among the children, but also among the Philippine general public and bring them back into the memories of their childhood.

The exhibit will run until May 10 and is open to the public.
