Festivals to attract foreign visitors

The government has selected six representative festivals this year to promote as part of efforts to attract over 11 million foreign tourists.

The Visit Korea Committee, a quasi-government organization set up two years ago with the mission to draw non-Korean visitors, said Monday that the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival, Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) International Peace and Life Festival, Hallyu Dream Festival, Korea Food Festival, Busan Firework Festival and Olle Festival have been designated as the country’s main events.

“In 2011, we promoted four festivals — traditional Korean foods, hallyu, fireworks and trekking. More than 3 million Korean and foreign travelers took part in these festivities, up 11 percent from the previous year,” said Han Kyung-ah, executive director of the Visit Korea Committee. “Particularly, the number of non-Korean visitors soared 24 percent. In 2012, we added two more festivals to the list to attract even more visitors to provincial areas.

”The majority of inbound foreign tourists eat, shop and stay in and around Seoul, Han said, stressing Korea needs to make a greater effort to promote tourist attractions in provincial areas and send international travelers to every corner of the country.

“We are positive that the six festivals will emerge as popular events among non-Korean residents and tourists. The committee will continue to cooperate with municipal administrations to promote the occasions,” Han said.

From April 1 to 10, Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, will organize the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival. The event will be followed by the DMZ International Peace &Life Festival to be held in cities of Gangwon Province, bordering the DMZ separating the two Koreas, from May 19 to 21

.Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, will host the Hallyu Dream Festival from Sept. 21 to 23. The Korean Food Festival will be held in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, from Oct. 18 to 22.

The southern port city of Busan plans to organize a Firework Festival on Oc. 26 and 27, while the Jeju Olle Walking Festival from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3, will be this year’s last major event targeting foreign tourists.

Topic 2. (From. Korea times 2009/03/22)

Can blood type determine character?

Medical experts assert the widespread belief here that blood type lends insight into character is scientifically "groundless" but it seems to have become an important factor to consider by unmarried women in deciding whom they will date in the future.

Kim Hyun-jin, a 28-year-old career woman, recently had a blind date that eventually led her to become a vocal advocate of the credo defining characters in accordance with blood types.

"Before seeing him, a matchmaker gave me brief information about him including his blood type, B. As a person who had thought the theory groundless, I paid little attention to this," Kim said. "After finding he was noticeably aggressive, self-centered and hot-tempered, I recollected his blood type. They were typical traits of men with that blood type well described in numerous articles on the Internet."

"My former boyfriend's type was also B and he had had similar characters," she said. "Since then I have believed blood type has something to do with character." Another woman Park Ah-ram said she even saw some women refusing to meet or stay with a certain blood type.

"What women pay attention to before a blind date were usually a partner's appearance, academic background and job. But blood type was recently added to the list, meaning blood type has emerged as a tool to know their partners' character in advance," Park said.

This is not an isolated case among sensitive women, but a prevailing phenomenon in Korean society.

A local matchmaking agency, Gayeon, recently conducted a survey on 539 unmarried people including 283 women and found that more than seven out of 10 women think a man's blood type is an important factor in selecting a date or getting married, much higher than 41 percent of male respondents.

The survey found that a man with AB blood was the most unwelcome person to date among women, followed by type B, A, and O. Male respondents ranked females with type B as the most undesired partner, followed by AB, A and O.

Meanwhile, those with O were commonly ranked first on both sides as the most favored blood type, followed by A.

Some scientific research has been conducted to find conclusive evidence of a connection between blood type and character ㅡ but all in vain.

Japanese scientist Takeji Furukawa assigned character traits to each blood group in 1972 as follows:

Type O: calm, patient, in control of their emotions, strong-willed, unyielding and full of self-confidence despite a quiet appearance.

Type A: reserved, mild-mannered, full of worry, indecisive, cautious, deeply moved by things, non-combative and self-sacrificing.

Type B: cheerful, independent, light-hearted, talkative, sensitive, sociable, caring and flamboyant.

Type AB: group B on the outside, but group A on the inside.
