Hyderabad is set to host Telangana-Korea cultural festival on October 25, as part of efforts by the Telangana government and the Republic of Korea to strengthen tourism and cultural cooperation between the two regions. The proposal was discussed during a meeting between Telangana Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao and a delegation from the Republic of Korea led by Hwang Ilyong, Director of the Korean Cultural Centre India (KCCI) and Counsellor (Culture and Press) in Hyderabad on Monday, June 29.
Mr. Rao said the festival would provide a platform to showcase the cultural heritage, performing arts, music, dance and cuisine of Telangana and Korea, while strengthening people-to-people ties and promoting tourism. “The growing popularity of Korean culture in India, particularly among the youth, with Korean dramas and entertainment content attracting a large audience on OTT platforms presents opportunities for tourism promotion, cultural exchanges and collaboration in the creative industries,” he added.
