On the morning of April 13, 2018, as part of the cultural enrichment and
understanding of the economic and technological development of Korea, FMBA
students visited different locations outside the city of Seoul.
In company with the Professor Kwangwoo Park and Professor Joo-Hoon Kim,
the tour began with a visit to an electronic industrial museum run by one of
the major global companies based in Korea, Samsung. The Samsung Innovation
Museum, located in Suwon, the capital of the Gyeonggi Province, displays the history
of the electronics industry, taking a tour into the past, the present and the
future of the semiconductor, display and mobile industries. The students and
faculty members were able to learn about the seeds and future perspective of
electronic innovation, in the three inspiring and groundbreaking halls of the
museum.
In the afternoon, we visited the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, Hwaseong
Fortress, also known as Suwon Hwaseong. This impressive structure built from
1794 to 1796 by King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty, displayed the influential
military architecture of the period. Furthermore, as part of the tour the
students had a pleasant moment practicing archery, recalling the weapons used
at times in which the fortress was built.
Moreover, on the eastern foot of Paldal Mountain, the students went to the
Hwaseong Haenggung Palace. Inside, the visitors had the opportunity to see the
different rooms and art paintings where the king and royal family retreated to
during a war, that is why this bastion built in 1789, was used as base of the
government and as temporary palace.
After
a memorable day involving culture and innovation, the tour culminated with
innumerable photos and great memories. In this way, KOICA students have been
nourished with knowledge and experiences that will not only be shared with the
rest of KAIST fellows, but also in their different countries.
