Kim Byoung-gi, Korean ambassador to Lebanon wrote on koreaherald.com that “A few days ago, when a child of a newly arrived Korean diplomat joined his school in Beirut, the first question he got from his Lebanese classmates was whether he was able to sing and dance to the popular Korean song “Gangnam Style.” Lebanon, a beautiful country of cedar trees located at the basin of the Mediterranean Sea, shares surprisingly many similarities with Korea. It has an abundance of historical heritage dating back thousands of years and is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Like Korea, Lebanon has a war-torn history. Nonetheless, the Lebanese people have always dared to meet the challenges imposed on them and never failed to overcome whatever obstacles and difficulties they faced. Every day I come across world top brilliance, intelligence, political tolerance and cultural diversity at every corner of the lives of the Lebanese people”. More on Culture links Korea and Lebanon.
