Deadline: 15 July 2012
If you were given a chance to visit Korea this fall, what would you do?
You could visit UNESCO designated world heritage site Changdeokgung and walk among the historic palace grounds in the moonlight or travel to Nami Island where the popular KBS drama Winter Sonata was filmed and see for yourself the location where the lovers Jun-sang and Yoo-jins hared their first kiss. Or, what about eating some bibimbap at the traditional Hanok Village in Jeonju?
As 2012 marks the final year of "Visit Korea" KBS World Radio is holding an essay contest to win a trip to Korea called Discover Korea.
The top prize winner will win a tour package for six nights and seven days in Korea this September to experience the local culture and have a chance to take part in the production process of KBS World Radio special program.
All non-Koreans around the world with a valid passport and no disqualifications for overseas travel may apply (Foreigners who live in Korea and Koreans with foreign nationality may also apply).
