The Korean Cultural Center (KCC) in Thailand is organizing a unique digital event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Korea's National Liberation Day, inviting participants to engage with Korean historical drama content through social media. The special celebration focuses on the popular Netflix series "Mr. Sunshine" as a vehicle for understanding and appreciating Korea's independence movement.
August 15 represents one of Korea's most significant national holidays, marking the country's liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945. This milestone anniversary holds particular importance as it represents eight decades of Korean independence and sovereignty. The Korean Cultural Center has chosen to honor this historic occasion by connecting contemporary Korean cultural content with the nation's liberation history.
The participation process is designed to be accessible and engaging for social media users across Thailand. Contestants are invited to review their favorite scene or passage from the historical drama series "Mr. Sunshine," which depicts Korea during the late Joseon period and the early independence movement. Participants must then share their reviews on their personal social media accounts using the specific hashtag #kccthai815, which combines the Korean Cultural Center Thailand identifier with the August 15 Liberation Day date.
The contest runs from the announcement date through August 31, providing participants with several weeks to watch the series, select meaningful scenes, and craft thoughtful reviews. This extended timeframe allows for broad participation and gives contestants ample opportunity to engage deeply with the historical content presented in the drama.
As an incentive for participation, the Korean Cultural Center will award a special prize to the reviewer whose post receives the most engagement and popularity on social media platforms. This competitive element encourages participants to create high-quality, thoughtful content while spreading awareness about Korean history and culture throughout Thailand's digital community.
