Hello and welcome to your AI guide to the latest cultural updates from Korea. Here's our top story.

Korean media art exhibition, "The Heritage Garden– Threads of Connection," has won the Red Dot Design Award in the Brands & Communication Design category. Co-produced by the Korea Heritage Agency and media art company d'strict, the exhibition brings Korea's cultural legacy, such as the iconic Gyeongbokgung Palace, 경복궁, to life through immersive 3D visuals.

Showcased in Gangneung, Jeju, and Las Vegas last year, the show has drawn wide acclaim for vividly presenting the unique beauty and significance of Korean traditional heritage.

The Red Dot Design Award is considered one of the world's top three design competitions.

YouTube's most-watched video, Pinkfong's Baby Shark, has made history once again, becoming the first Korean music content to earn a 5X Platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry.

The milestone means the song has been streamed or downloaded more than three million times in the UK, five times the threshold for Platinum level.

The Pinkfong Company says it will continue to expand the global reach of Korean content through musical and cultural innovation.

The Busan International Comedy Festival, Asia's largest global comedy event, is set to be held from August 29 to September 7 in the southern city.

This year's festival promises a dynamic mix of Korea's top comedians, trending content creators, and comedic artists from around the world, showcasing a rich lineup of performances that go beyond language and borders.

Kicking off with a grand opening ceremony at BEXCO, the festival will feature beloved Korean acts like "Gag Concert," alongside stand-up comedy, musical comedy shows, and international highlights such as "The Ultimate Japanese Comedy Show."

That's all from me. Stay tuned to the Kulture Wave.
