Visit the Korea Pop Up and experience Korea in Sydney. The program will highlight:

Hanbok AR (Augmented Reality) Display – Hanbok, Korea’s traditional clothing, has maintained its basic traditional features throughout Korea’s 5,000-year history. Authentic wedding hanboks and various colourful hanboks, introduced in the television program, Mr. Sunshine (the popular Korean drama which premiered exclusively on Netflix) will be showcased through AR technology.

Nanta Virtual Show – Nanta is a South Korean non-verbal comedy show integrating Korean traditional samulnori rhythm with comedy and drama in the kitchen. Since its debut in 1997, Nanta has earned international acclaim performing on Broadway and other famous venues worldwide. 

Taekwondo Performance – Taekwondo is Korean traditional martial arts that teaches more than physical skills. It is a discipline that includes ways in which to enhance the spirit and life through training the mind and body.
