  • Seoul Subway Introduces Real-time Interpretation System
    A real-time interpretation system capable of interpreting 13 languages using AI technology has been installed at the Customer Support Center of Myeong-dong Station (Seoul Subway Line 4). The system works by connecting a mic to a see-through touch screen that displays the words spoken and translates them depending on which language the tourist selects. After the tourist asks a question in their own language, their question is translated into Korean and appears on the monitor for the Korean station worker to see and respond to. Now travelers can quickly and easily get answers to all their subway questions, including finding subway routes, the fastest transfer points, and anything else about the subway station. The touch-screen can also be used to look up information on T-locker and T-luggage, storage systems in place for travelers.

BEAUTY AND SPA Korean cosmetics and beauty habits are gaining attention all over the world. The true value of K-beauty lies in the skin care lines that are more refined than in any other country, to unique, high-quality cosmetic products with great cost effectiveness and special ingredients. ‘Made in Korea’ traditional Korean medicine cosmetics uses ingredients that don’t cause irritation, that fundamentally heals the skin and aids it with regenerative energy. Additionally, the fragrance of traditional Korean medicine decreases stress and stabilizes body and soul with an aromatherapy effect.

KOREAN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE Traditional Korean medicine contains Korea’s unique medical knowledge and wisdom.
