To enhance the mutual understanding of Korean Wave culture among students from the two countries, they will learn about Hyecho's India Travel Journal, Storytelling about Korean traditional knots and cloth, and take K-Pop Korean classes. K-Culture will be enjoyed together on the metaverse, and students from India will have the chance for career counseling such as studying in Korea during the program.
Lee You-kyung, head of the Office of International Affairs, said, "India, which has the world’s biggest population with English as its official language, plans to strengthen various cooperation with India, including culture, academia, and economy, due to the strong Hallyu boom. In particular, Dongguk University WISE will lead the sustainable development of local universities by attracting Indian international students in connection with local governments and developing it into a specialized Glocal innovation model of the University for regional co-prosperity.
