The National Movement Headquarters for Reviving the Spirit of the Korean People (Chairman Lee Kwon-jae), supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, conducted a comprehensive experiential training program titled ‘K-Eol Country Love Cultural Experience Spirit Training’ from September 30 (Friday) to October 5 (Wednesday) over 5 nights and 6 days. The program was held in Seoul and the Namwon area for overseas branch heads and secretaries of the National Movement Headquarters for Reviving the Spirit of the Korean People residing abroad, aiming to establish identity and foster pride as one Korean ethnic group by encompassing Korean history and culture.

This event featured lectures on the spirit of the Korean people to cultivate a correct historical perspective, including ‘Great Republic of Korea’ by Director Lee Sang-hoon (Hwajaeng Leadership Institute), ‘About the Spirit of the Korean People’ by Representative Chairman Lee Jong-geol (National Council for Ethnic Reconciliation and Cooperation), ‘The Confucian Spirit and the Spirit of the Korean People’ by Chairman Lee Kwon-jae, and ‘Korean Culture and the Spirit of the Korean People’ by Professor Emeritus Kim Jong-seo (Seoul National University). The program also included explorations of Korean historical culture such as visits to the Blue House and the National Folk Museum, traditional cultural experiences, and subgroup discussions, providing a meaningful opportunity to deepen understanding of the spirit of the Korean people and Korea, and to acquire the qualifications necessary to faithfully perform the role of branch heads.

Han Jae-woo, Secretary General of the National Movement Headquarters for Reviving the Spirit of the Korean People, who organized this event, stated, “The heavenly fortune (天運) is returning from the West to the East, and within the East to the Korean Peninsula. Reviving the spirit of the Korean people based on Hongik Ingan is both a patriotic movement and a movement for human coexistence. As descendants of the Korean ethnic group, everyone should take the lead and participate together.”

The National Movement Headquarters for Reviving the Spirit of the Korean People is a non-profit public organization established in 2003 by the late Chairman Han Yang-won (Korean Ethnic Religion Council).
