On 9 October, the Vilnius King Sejong Institute at Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) organised a Hangeul Day celebration dedicated to Korean language, culture, and traditions. The event was held in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Lithuania and the Lithuanian Korean community.
The celebration commemorated the Korean writing system, Hangeul, created by King Sejong and officially introduced in 1446, as well as the 100th anniversary of Hangeul Day celebrations. The event opened with a welcoming speech by the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Lithuania, Joyoung Jeon.
Participants had the opportunity to explore Korean culture through traditional handicraft exhibitions, interactive games, and quizzes. One of the highlights was a challenge in which students read the Constitution of Užupis in Korean, allowing them to practise their language skills and demonstrate their knowledge of Hangeul.
The event concluded with an opportunity to taste traditional Korean dishes. The celebration offered participants a deeper understanding of the Korean writing system and traditions while encouraging greater interest in Korean language and culture.
