South Korea will host a K-culture festival in Mexico during June 2026, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup. Organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the event aims to bridge Korean tradition and contemporary culture through four themes: *Pasion que Une* (connecting through passion), *Luz que Une* (connecting through light), *Miradas que Unen* (connecting through perspectives), and *Ritmos que Unen* (connecting through rhythm). The festival includes a media façade by artist Lee Lee-nam, a contemporary art exhibition, traditional Korean performing arts, and K-pop cover dance performances. A major event, *Día de Corea*, will take place in Zapopan on June 4, featuring Korean food, culture, sports, and a media art installation blending Korean and Mexican symbols. An exhibition reinterpreting Korean tradition through media art and AI-generated art will be held at Mexico City’s Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo. Traditional performances and K-pop dance teams will also stage events in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Zapopan. Two Korean War veterans will attend *Día de Corea*, highlighting the friendship between Korea and Mexico. The festival leverages the World Cup’s global platform to promote K-culture and foster cultural exchanges between the two nations.
