문화체육관광부는 이달부터 12월까지 청와대 사랑채 1층에서 특별전 '팔색찬란 : K로 가득한 지역'을 개최한다. 이번 전시는 '우리가 이야기하는 케이(K)의 뿌리는 무엇인가?'라는 질문에서 출발한다. 한국의 역사와 문화예술, 지역 고유의 문화자산이 K-콘텐츠로 이어지고 확장되는 과정을 지역 콘텐츠 전시와 미디어아트를 통해 입체적으로 선보인다. 특히 대한민국의 다양한 지역에 축적된 문화적 자산이 오늘날 K-컬처의 기반이 됐음을 조명하는 데 초점을 맞췄다.
The Korea Tourism Organization’s helpline answers in English, Japanese and Chinese around the clock, and in several other languages from 08:00 to 19:00. Dial 1330 from a Korean phone, or +82-2-1330 from a phone registered abroad.
112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.
Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.
Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
Book trains on Korail’s English site and express buses on Kobus. Holiday weekends sell out first.
