Yesterday, the South Korea First Lady congratulated newly appointed content creators as Korea.net K-influencers & Honorary Reporters from 112 countries in the 2021 Induction Ceremony at Korea Creative Content Agency’s Multi Content Testbed, Seoul!
Four representatives of different countries also joined the offline ceremony together with Second Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Kim Jeong-bae and Korean Culture and Information Service (KOCIS) Director Park Jung-Youl. Together with them on the big screen of the stage were 40 invited K-influencers and Honorary Reporters together online in participating the ceremony. The 1-hour ceremony was live in Korea.net YouTube Livestream, attracting thousands of viewers tune in to witness the ceremony.
“I hope the promotional experts of Korean culture become messengers of hope and communicate and create solidarity worldwide.”
First Lady, Kim Jung Sook
The online participants also planned a special event for the First Lady and the audience during the ceremony. 40 content creators together in one screen, rising their play cards showing the slogan ‘Fill Your Korea’ on the screen. Definitely an eye catching scenery in which 40 individuals from different countries at different time zones together in sync for this moment.
Let us listen to some thoughts and their goals from the newly appointed Korea.net K-influencers and Honorary Reporters!
I was very surprised at first, and now I’m very happy (of getting appointed as Honorary Reporters)! K-pop and K-Drama are very popular in Japan. However, Korean sports are not very famous. I would like to convey the charm of Korean traditional Ssireum to the Japanese people.

Its was an honoured to be part of this big group and excite me to write more about Korea. I would want to actively participate and write a lot so that by the end of the year, it would be the best memory of 2021.

I’m elated to be a part of the Honorary Reporters 2021 program. I’m grateful that Korea.net gives us the opportunity to have a creative outlet where we can share our love for South Korea. I hope that through this program, I further enhance my knowledge of Korea and interact with like minded people who help me discover new aspects of this wonderful nation. Through my articles, I aim to shed light on the 2000yr old bond that Korea and India share with each other, as well as spread a positive message to my fellow K-enthusiasts about the wonders of Korea.

It feels great to be associated with a group of such talented people who come together and share the same love for this country. Looking forward to have this experience. I don’t really have a plan but my sole motive is to learn about the culture of this country that I love so dearly, and help others to understand the uniqueness of it through my articles.
