In addition to well-known Korean consumer goods manufacturers like Lock&Lock, the event had representatives from provinces, including Gangwon-do, Busan, and the Fisheries Association, to introduce their local specialties.

Nguyen Duc Minh, Senior Director of Keppel Land in Vietnam, expressed excitement when the company had the opportunity to host the annual Korea Festival in order to introduce Korean culture to Vietnamese customers.

“Through this event, we hope to celebrate the unique culture of Korea as well as introduce Korea’s famous and high-quality brands to the Vietnamese market,” said Minh.

Shoppers could explore the Korea Sale Festa which offered promotions, as well as food stands serving genuine Korean street food.

Workshops on the weekends allowed participants to learn how to make traditional Korean toys like “sogo drums” and paper gyros as well as experience cultural Korean folk games and enjoy special art performances.

A complimentary 360-degree custom photoshoot in traditional Hanbok attire was another perk available to shoppers at Estella Place during the festival.

In addition, the festival had a booth from the popular musical collective SMTown, featuring K-pop-related merchandise of artists under SM Entertainment such as EXO, Red Velvet, and NCT127 to cater to the growing reach of Korea’s entertainment industry.
