On Tuesday, October 30, I was able to
attend the 2012 buzz KOREA Awards, an event held by the Korea Tourism
Organization. Last month, there was a
worldwide contest for foreigners to submit videos about Korea (language,
culture, food, etc.) in order to win trip to South Korea and move onto the next
step in the competition, which was to participate in a country wide tour
alongside two celebrity groups, 2PM and Miss A.
2PM has been a favorite of mine for a few
years now and I like Miss A a lot too so I was pretty excited to see them in
person! The awards show was cool and the
venue was very cozy and not too many people were allowed to attend so I felt
like a VIP!
Coming from Hawaii, where basically
everything is about tourism, it was very interesting to see how the Korea
Tourism Organization gains more and more visitors every year. It’s a shame that we can’t have any
Hawaii-pop stars to help us draw in more tourists because the Koreans are doing
an unbelievable job at attracting foreign visitors via their celebrities.
See you guys soon! I'm inspired to study more for my LSAT hehe but I'll try not to neglect this blog so much!! Sorry for the inconsistent updates ㅠㅠ
