[K-Correspondent] Fostering cultural exchange between Korea and the Philippines through Hangeul exhibition

Once a week we connect live to a correspondent overseas who fills us in on K-culture news in their respective country.

Today, we go over to the Philippines where a special exhibition on Korean culture more specifically "Hangeul" is underway.

Q1. Jellaine, please introduce yourself, the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines, and your role there.

Q2. As a person working at the Korean Cultural Center and experiencing the Korean wave up close, please share with us how big hallyu is right now in the Philippines and what's currently trending.

Q3. Marking 75 years of diplomatic ties between South Korea and the Philippines last year, the two countries have been engaged in economic and cultural exchanges.

Q3-1. Any stories behind the launching of such exhibition focused on Hangeul?
