SEOUL, May 2 (Korea Bizwire) – As travelers arrive at Incheon International Airport in South Korea, they are greeted by a captivating display of the nation’s traditional culture and scenic beauty through a series of videos.
The National Palace Museum of Korea and the Cultural Heritage Administration announced on May 1 the premiere of four new videos featuring traditional Korean culture, displayed on the media wall installed in the arrival hall of Terminal 1.
The media wall lines the walls of the arrival hall, equipped with high-resolution LED displays that allow airport visitors to enjoy the visuals as they move along the walkways.
The four newly unveiled videos encompass themes of national heritage, nature, cuisine, and culture.
The “K-Heritage: Procession of the Joseon Dynasty” video, approximately four minutes long, vividly brings to life “Hwaneohaengryeoldo” (Royal Procession Back to Seoul). This masterpiece, housed at the National Palace Museum, captures King Jeongjo’s journey to Hwaseong to celebrate his mother’s 60th birthday during his reign from 1776 to 1800.
Showcasing South Korea’s natural wonders, the “K-Nature: Immerse in the Landscapes of Korea” video presents panoramic views of UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, Gaya Tumuli, and Changdeokgung Palace.
Viewers can also savor the delectable flavors of traditional Korean cuisine and witness the lively movements of traditional dance. The food-themed video highlights the vibrant colors and elegance of Korean dishes, while another video features a virtual human dancer performing against the backdrop of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Additionally, the National Palace Museum and the Cultural Heritage Administration plan to release a promotional video featuring the global dance group Jam Republic performing amid media art installations. This video will be available on the museum’s YouTube channel and other cultural heritage channels.
A museum official stated, “We plan to create resting areas and photo zones within the arrival hall, where airport visitors can comfortably learn about the nation’s cultural heritage while resting.”
