Gangnam, the bustling district in southern Seoul made famous around the globe by K-pop and its high-end lifestyle, will transform into a celebration of Korean culture and international exchange later this month, offering hands-on activities, traditional performances and music for foreign residents and visitors. Gangnam District will host the Gangnam Global Festa on Oct. 21 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Gangnam Square near Exit 11 of Gangnam Station, bringing together international visitors and local residents for an afternoon of cultural experiences.
