Originally scheduled to launch at the start of the year, it wasn’t until May that a formal decision was made regarding this development.
The Hallyu department’s primary duties will be assisting in the export of Hallyu-related content.
The department is currently working on the finer details such as its English name. The department also plans to host cultural exchange events to promote Korean culture overseas.
