The Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines was hailed the “2025 Most Outstanding Korean Cultural Center” by the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST).

According to a press release by the KCC in the Philippines, the cultural center was given the recognition on March 4 following programs enacted in celebration of South Korea and the Philippines’ 75th year of bilateral relations.

The certificate was received by KCC Philippines Director Kim Myeongjin during the MCST 2025 meeting held at the Korean Culture and Information Service (KOCIS) Center in Jeonggu, Seoul last March 4 to 7, 2025.

It was commended for its interactive exhibitions, film and culture festivals, soundtrack performance concerts, beauty programs, and travel expos.

KCC in the Philippines currently keeps its doors open for interested Filipinos who wish to learn the Korean language or culture.

This April, the center also has a K-Pop dance class and experience area at the Ateneo de Manila University, and a two-day K-Beauty and Travel Festival.
