Hello from KCC! Get to know more about Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines through Project Annyeong 2015 and KCC Supporters like me!

I was doing my year-end evaluation and planning for 2015 when I saw the Facebook Post of Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC) looking for supporters. The poster below got my attention so I decided to apply for the program with great interest. 

I must also admit that my decision to apply was influenced by the "fan" part of me. Ever since Korean drama series and movies hit the Philippine television during my teenage years, I instantly became a fan and my curiosity about Korean culture was fueled when I met some friendly Koreans during my various trips abroad. I've also been a Cross Cultural Understanding and Promotion (CCUP) advocate since my SSEAYP days when I had the privilege to be part of this discussion group together with other youth ambassadors of Japan and ASEAN, that is why knowing more about Korean Culture was really something interesting for me. With the strong Korean wave not only in the Philippines but in the whole world, who wouldn't want to understand this phenomenon right?! ;-) 

WHAT IS PROJECT ANNYEONG?
It is a series of events and activities which aims to introduce Korean Culture to the Philippines. It will also promote the Korean Cultural Center, facilities, classes offering and special events.  
---------------------------------------------------------

I was delighted when I receive the news that I passed the screening and interview. I am happy to be one of KCC Supporters Batch 1. As one of the KCC Supporters, I will assist in KCC events and classes on my available time, promote all related activities and welcome guests whenever I am in the center. I am also excited to share more about Korean culture through my blog posts and videos. SOON. 

Last January 30, 2015, I traveled back to Metro Manila to attend the orientation and to meet my fellow KCC Supporters. Lihn Dalangin, outgoing Events Coordinator, led the program and facilitated the Human Bingo game which I like! It gave me the chance to meet and greet other supporters in short period of time. 
And yes, with their help and amazing knowledge in K-pop, I also won the game and got a Korean Traditional Notebook as prize! ;-)  

We were also given a brief tour and information about the KCC facilities, services and classes. For those who love to read Korean books, magazines and other publications or watch K-drama or movies, I highly recommend you visit their Library or check their Wave (Hallyu) Hall for special events and presentations. 

KCC Director Choong Suk Oh gave his welcome message and xpressed his gratitude to the KCC supporters who applied to be the program. He also shared some exciting news and encouraged the supporters to do their best.

We're also treated to a magical and very entertaining performance by DREAM MAGIC TEAM, an all Korean magician group who graced our welcome ceremony. KCC staff and supporters filled the Wave Hall with laughter as we enjoyed their funny tricks and magic!
