Program
‘KCCI ON THE GO: GUNTUR’
Korean Cultural Centre India, with the support of the Honorary Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Hyderabad, took Korean cultural experiences beyond New Delhi and directly to audiences,
particularly students and young people, in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh.

The two-day outreach programme, ‘KCCI ON THE GO: GUNTUR’ received an enthusiastic response from local citizens,
highlighting the growing interest in Korean culture beyond major metropolitan cities in India.

The activity provided an engaging introduction to Korean culture while encouraging active participation from the audience.

The Samulnori Team of the Korean Cultural Centre India, Hae-O-Reum, showcased a performance sharing the vibrant traditions of Korean percussion music which is ensemble,
known for its powerful rhythm and energy.

Taekwondo, another major component of the programme, generated strong interest among students and young participants at both events.

The programme further connected traditional Korean culture with contemporary K-culture through a K-pop cover dance performance by a local dance group.


The attending students also got to experience Korean traditional games like Jegichagi and Tuho.
Jegichagi (제기차기) is a traditional Korean outdoor folk game where players repeatedly kick a small shuttlecock-like object called a jegi into the air,
trying to keep it off the ground for as long as possible using their feet.
Tuho (투호) is a traditional Korean pitch-pot game where players throw arrows or sticks from a set distance into a narrow-necked jar

The attendees also got to experience an introduction to Hangeul, the Korean language, discovering the unique structure and beauty of the Korean writing system through an engaging session.

The combination of traditional arts, language, martial arts and popular culture offered participants a broad and interactive experience of Korea.
