If your busy life has you feeling tired and in need of a break, then look no further than the upcoming Korea Health & Wellness Festival! Hosted by the Korea Tourism Organization, the festival has connections with the Korea Beauty Festival, taking play throughout the month of June in major areas of Seoul. A total of 112 medical facilities are participating in the Health & Wellness Festival, offering both traditional Korean treatments as well as cutting-edge medical techniques for a complete introduction to K-wellness culture.

Visitors to the festival, taking place at Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Plaza, can experience medical tourism, wellness, and K-culture at once through the many programs, including a special performance stage, and various themed zones such as the Health Zone, Wellness Zone, K-Wave Zone, K-Beauty Zone, and K-Gourmet Zone. Depending on one’s interest, head to the appropriate booth to get a skin & health consultation, find methods to reduce stress, learn how to do make-up just like hallyu celebrities, or taste yummy Korean foods.

VISIKOREA & haebom, a K-beauty experience platform, have teamed up for a joint promotional booth. VISITKOREA members can participate in an exclusive event and enjoy fun beauty experiences such as taking a mini personal color test.

The month of June also celebrates the Wellness Tourism Experience Week, a discount campaign offering up to 35,000 won in discounts for admission or accommodations according to the theme of each week. The theme and events change each week, so be sure to check the details below.
