Yoo Hong-jun, the newly appointed Director of the National Museum of Korea, emphasized the importance of museums as the roots of K-Culture (Korean culture). At his inauguration, Yoo highlighted the growing popularity of museums among tourists, driven by phenomena like 'K-pop Demon Hunters' (a fictional reference integrating K-pop with foreign interest) and the demand for museum merchandise. He believes museums not only preserve the past but also contribute to planning the nation's cultural future, enhancing Korea's status as a global cultural powerhouse.
