This is their second donation, starting with the first donation to the New York City School of Korean Language' on May 15 this year to commemorate the 'King Sejong's Nassin Day'.
The 'Hangeul Education Support Campaign around the World' is about donating educational items to weekend schools struggling for Hangeul education and foreigners who run study groups to learn Korean.
Recently, Professor Seo directly donated various teaching materials such as smart TVs and laptops, and a number of school supplies such as Korean notebooks, sketchbooks, and pens to the 「Cannam Sadang Hangeul Culture School」.
Professor Seo, who organized the project, said, `As K-pop and K-drama spread around the world, more foreigners and overseas Koreans wanted to learn Korean, so we started the campaign to help them in their education a little bit," he said.
In particular, he added, `We will continue to provide support to organizations working on Korean language education from all over the world.'
Kim Nam-gil, who sponsored the event, said, `As K content is loved by people around the world, we will do our best to make Korean and Korean more known in the future."
On the other hand, Professor Seo and Kim Nam-gil produced a video about Joseon's largest anti-Japanese secret association 'Joseon National Dongdan' on Liberation Day and are also working together as protectors of Korean history.
