For this reason, the organization has partnered up with several brands so as to create virtual experiences for Korean culture lovers as well as travelers, since travel restrictions are still in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
This year’s virtual event, called KXperience, will run from November 15 through December 25 and will include K-Beauty, K-Pop, K-Drama, K-Food, along with discounts on Korean products. According to the report, KTO New Delhi office Director Young-Geul Choi said that the organization had noticed an increase in Indian interest in K-Drama, K-Pop, and K-Food.
