KOREAN HERITAGE, having started with Summer 2008 issue, celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. It has been covering cultural, natural, and intangible heritage, conveying the diverse values of our heritage in a simple yet in-depth manner to both Koreans and foreigners. It has been delivered to diplomatic missions in Korea and abroad, visitors to overseas cultural centers, overseas Hangeul schools, and overseas universities. It has helped foreigners from various walks of life, including academics, and the general public, to have a deeper appreciation of Korean cultural heritage.

In particular, this year, non-Korean experts with extensive knowledge and experience in various field such as political, economic, social, and cultural history of Korea participated in contributions and consultations from the planning stage to make various changes in both design and content, and CHA plans to newly introduce articles that shed light on the traditional culture, which is the root of modern culture.

By expanding the distribution to international schools and foreign language schools in Korea from this spring issue, CHA anticipates that the international students will become more knowledgeable in the cultural heritage of Korea in the future, while Korean students will be able to contribute to promoting the significance and value of Korean cultural heritage at home and abroad.

KOREAN HERITAGE will be shared in e-book and pdf file format on its website (www.koreanheritage.kr), recognizing that we are responsible for promoting our heritage overseas. The Cultural Heritage Administration will continue to do its best to promote our heritage overseas.
