Introduction
* Destination suggested by Pelin Ozer (Assistant Manager in MICE Marketing at KTO Istanbul Office)
Pelin’s love for Korean culture began with dramas during his middle school years and has expanded to include Korean films. His fascination with culture and the arts is profound, and his affection for K-content led him to the Busan International Film Festival, the largest in Asia. His connection to Korea is also personal, having spent time there as an exchange student and a volunteer. As an enthusiast of the great outdoors, he is drawn to the allure of Gapyeong in Gyeonggi-do.
“I’m keen to head to Gapyeong on my next trip to Korea. I love summer and water activities, but I’ve yet to try water leisure activities there. Gapyeong is getting much attention for “ppaji” — water leisure reports in valleys and rivers. Also, I’ve learned about the Jarasum Jazz Festival held in Gapyeong every October. I’d love to experience it and immerse myself in the jazz vibes.”
