Welcome to Korea Week with Korean Culture Centre

Why does representation matter? It’s opening a door into understanding culture, stories and humanity across the world. This episode, we’re talking about #KoreaWeek. In partnership with Korean Cultural Centre (@kcccanada) and Canada’s Embassy of the Republic of Korea we’re super excited to share what they’ve done to share Korean culture with the diaspora and beyond, starting with the craze of K-dramas and Korean cinema. Joined by Korean Cultural Centre Director Sungeun Lee and program coordinator Shine Jang, we talk about everything from the impact of Squid Game, Minari and Parasite to how the Korean diaspora is working to share and retain their culture and history in Canada. Join in on the Korea Week's events like the Ottawa Korean Film Festival, where you can watch "Cities of Korea" running until Oct 13th.
