The First Lady of South Korea wants to be a bridge to promote culture.

Yonhap reported today, citing an interview published in the art magazine Artnet News on June 26, in which Ms. Kim said: "I felt how wonderfully the cultural and artistic stature of Korea has increased when I traveled abroad or received international guests in the first year since President Yoon Suk Yeol took office." She referred to developments in many aspects such as Korean films, music , fashion, and cuisine.

"With its diversity, uniqueness, and creativity, our country, the Republic of Korea, possesses a culture full of potential. I believe I can play a role as a marketer of Korean culture to promote it to the world ," said the South Korean First Lady.

In the same interview, Ms. Kim shared her contributions in introducing Korean culture to visiting foreign leaders. She also mentioned preparing gifts that reflect Korean culture when traveling abroad.

She believes she can play a bridging cultural role thanks to her experience organizing art exhibitions. As the former director of Covana Contents, an art exhibition company, Ms. Kim recalls a particularly meaningful moment at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., in April, when she had the opportunity to see previously unexhibited works by her favorite artist, Mark Rothko.
