Korea, also called the “Land of the Morning Calm,” is famous for its beautiful harmony of thousands-of-years-long traditional culture and inspiring natural landscape.
Today, Korea’s tradition is creating new light and energy of another perspective with a mixture of advanced modern civilization and creative innovations.
An increasing number of people around the world are getting excited about Korean music, art and movies.
And the already-large fan base of Korean food is growing even more.
Now, Korea’s cultural and natural environment is loved by the global citizens, not just Koreans anymore.


Korea has been through hard times to overcome the aftermath of the Korean War and finally achieved the world’s unprecedented economic growth, known as the “Miracle of the Han River.”
And along the way, the Korean people have joined together to make the roots of democracy spread to a deeper and wider scope.
Now Korea has a population of just over 50 million and its social and economic structure is standing on a solid and stable base, heading to a promising future.
Koreans are generally well-educated and accustomed to the world-class socio-economic norms and systems.
Koreans enjoy inexpensive, convenient and safe public transportations, cutting-edge technology supported delivery and utility services,
and nationally and locally well-established road and Internet networks.


In Korea, people feel safe in their daily lives because the government is active in protection of human rights and the country has maintained a very low level of crimes such as robbery and murder.
In emergencies, police, fire and medical services are responding very quickly in every corner of the country.
Korea’s education authorities provide free education up to high school, and especially additional financial support for children from low-income families.
And most college students receive national scholarships based on their respective household income level.
Many Korean universities are well known in the world for the quality and systems of their education.
In the meantime, there are international schools, foreign language high schools and other kinds of special schools for gifted students.
And some of the world-reputed foreign universities operate their own independent campuses in Korea, giving more chances to those eager to learn advanced knowledge and skills.
