The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Choi Hwi-young) announced on the 10th that it will hold a launching ceremony for the "20th Korea Baro Notification Group" made up of Koreans aged 18 or older at the Cosys Center (10th floor of the Korea Press Center).
Launched in 2013 as the 'Error Correction Global Monitor Group', the 'Right Notice Group' is a private public relations group (supporters) that has been correcting Korea-related errors in overseas media and continuing activities to promote Korea properly, and has produced a total of 744 members so far. Until now, a total of 70 people have been active per year by selecting 35 members per rider twice a year, but from this year, 40 members per rider have been selected so that more young people can participate in Korea's immediate notification activities, allowing a total of 80 members per year.
In the recruitment of the 20th Immediate Notification Group, a total of 154 people applied, showing a 3.8:1 competition rate, and 40 young people (30 Koreans and 10 foreigners) from eight countries, including Brazil, Turkey, and Russia, with deep understanding of Korea and excellent foreign language skills, were selected.
The members' passion and aspirations for their activities are also different. ▶Daniela, a Brazilian national who has continued his activities for three consecutive riders from the 18th to the 20th, said, "I live on the other side of the world, but I feel like my physical distance from Korea has gotten closer through the activities of the notification group. In the future, I want to contribute to more accurately promoting Korean culture that I love," he said. Baek Jong-hyun, who is also active in the 20th period following the 19th period of ▶, said, "Through the last activities, I felt the importance of error correction. Based on the information analysis and verification experience accumulated in the 19th period, we will do our best to prevent the spread of misinformation about Korea," he said.
In addition, "Cookim," a Korean food content creator with 2.44 million Instagram followers, will attend the opening ceremony as a speaker to share the charm of Korean food and the secret to creating content and support the members' activities.
For the next five months, the "20th Immediate Notification Group" will carry out promotional activities to report misinformation related to Korea and inform accurate information through the "Korea Immediate Notification Service" operated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. In particular, in line with the global popularity of "K-Content," it plans to diversify its activities so that interest in Korean culture can lead to a correct understanding. It plans to proactively respond to the changing media environment by discovering Korea-related error information and providing accurate information on generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as Chadge Pt and online video services (OTT).
"As 'K-Content' has become a mainstream culture that the world sympathizes with, the importance of properly promoting Korea is growing," a policy officer at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said. "The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will repay the efforts of the immediate notification group to turn 'misunderstanding' of Korea into 'understanding'."
