In a dazzling display of Indo-Korean synergy, South Korea’s First Lady Kim Keon-hee participated in a grand K-Pop festival in New Delhi on Monday. The occasion underscored the explosive growth of K-culture among Indian youth.
Part of President Lee Jae-myung’s official trip, Kim attended the annual ‘K-Dream Stage’ as a special guest. Hosted by the Korean Cultural Center, the championship featured fierce competitions in singing and dancing, alongside professional acts.
‘I am confident you will spark a new wave of popular culture not just in India, but across Korea and the world,’ Kim told the enthusiastic crowd. She highlighted the participants’ potential to strengthen bilateral relations.
JYP Entertainment’s Park Jin-young’s attendance elevated the event’s prestige. Kim reflected on culture’s unifying force, hoping it would draw the two nations closer.
The day began with a poignant visit to Raj Ghat by the presidential couple. This visit marks a key milestone in advancing the special strategic partnership, as noted by India’s Foreign Ministry. As K-pop fever grips India, such initiatives pave the way for enduring cultural diplomacy.
