After the luncheon, kozaza and Schmidt joined other panels in the Big Tent 2013 – where Hanok and other subjects are discussed under the grand theme of “Bringing Korean Culture to the World”.
The day ended with a roof-top party, where guests engaged in social exchange with a chance to further discuss the potential held in Korean culture. Kozaza also shared its vision of bringing Hanok as a treasurable cultural entity.
