Kim Soyoung, an internationally acclaimed Hangeul calligraphy artist and performer, joins Korean Days @ Therme with live workshops and demonstrations that blend Korean tradition with captivating visual storytelling. As the President of the Gangwon-do Branch of the "Korea Calligraphy Design Center" and founder of "Geulssidang Studio" in Seoul, Kim Soyoung has created over 150 original works and taken part in prestigious events such as the Dubai Calligraphy Biennale, UNESCO’s "Cultural Heritage Connecting One ASEAN Community", and a striking showcase on the iconic Times Square billboard in New York.
