The organizers were the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea and the Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange.
"At the Mokkoji Korea Festival, we traditionally present the diversity of Korean culture and traditions. I am glad that in this landmark year for our countries, the holiday is being held in Tashkent," said Yuri Choi, representative of the Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange. - Uzbeks are showing more and more interest in our country: they are learning the language, interested in k-pop music, young people are winning grants to study at universities in Korea. I think that the partnership between our countries will continue to strengthen, and many more large-scale events and projects are waiting for us."
During the two days of the exhibition, guests were able to taste such popular dishes in Korea as gimpab, chapche, tokpokki, pibimpap. Costumed photo shoots took place in the doram and webtun zones, and the game zone offered to join the culture through traditional games and folk crafts.
Star makeup artist Bia Shin, chef and frequent participant of culinary TV shows Cha Min Wook, blogger and musician SONGWONSUB, as well as k-pop stars flew to Tashkent to participate in Mokkoji Korea.
Tickets for the final concert could be won on the festival's website. With a capacity of three thousand seats, the organizers received more than 10 thousand applications. Fans who won tickets heard their idols' favorite compositions live, UZ reports.
