Gwangju University announced on the 27th that it conducted a cultural exploration program in Jeju Island for 98 international students.

This three-day, two-night program, held from the 19th to the 21st, offered participants opportunities to experience Jeju's beautiful natural scenery and traditional culture firsthand, including visits to Seongsan Ilchulbong and the Jeju Folk Village. The itinerary also included experiences at a water park and a theme park, as well as meals featuring local specialties such as black pork barbecue and braised cutlassfish.
