Hi Huneybees,


Now boarding: Korea.

From 6 – 8 March 2026, Plaza Singapura transforms into a vibrant gateway to South Korea again as the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) brings back the highly anticipated Korea Travel Fair 2026!

Happening daily from 10:30am to 9:00pm, this three-day celebration promises immersive cultural experiences, exclusive travel deals, and star-powered moments that will thrill every K-culture lover.

Building on last year’s celebration of 50 years of Korea–Singapore diplomatic ties, this year’s edition raises the bar with interactive showcases, regional highlights, and unforgettable live performances.


Your One-Stop Gateway to Korea

Think of the fair as a mini Korea under one roof. With more than 20 exhibitors, including Regional Tourism Organizations from Jeju, Busan and Gangwon, you can explore travel routes, cultural highlights and insider experiences, all while scoring event-only travel promotions from major agencies.

The event spans three zones - Main Atrium, The Alley and Canopy Plaza with each offering its own blend of travel inspiration, cultural discovery and live entertainment. And yes! the excitement peaks on 7 March when Hallyu star Ji Chang-wook makes a special appearance at the Opening Ceremony.


Star Power & Stage Highlights

Fans are in for a treat with the high-energy musical Dream High, featuring Luna (f(x)), Kim Dong-hyun (Golden Child), Kang Seung-sik and Lim Se-jun. Expect live vocals, dynamic choreography and all the K-pop stage energy you could wish for.

Ji Chang-wook will also host a Celebrity Travel Talk, sharing personal travel stories, favourite destinations and must-try Korean dishes, offering a rare glimpse into the actor beyond the screen.

Glow Up with K-Beauty & Wellness

The K-Beauty Zone offers skincare consultations by INNISFREE and live demonstrations by BEAUTY PLAY and JUNGSAEMMOOL, giving visitors a front-row look at the latest Korean beauty trends.

Meanwhile, the K-Wellness activation by KOLMAR invites visitors to explore wellness products, complete stamp missions, and snap photos at the Ji Chang-wook photo zone for a chance to win prizes.

Park Bo-gum Wants Us to ‘Imagine Your Korea’ — And I’m Already Packing My Bags!

Hi Huneybees,


As a devoted Park Bo-gum fan, my heart practically somersaulted when I found out he’s officially the 2025 Honorary Ambassador for the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO)! 💖 Leading the new "Never Ending Korea" campaign, Bo-gum isn’t just showing us Korea’s most stunning spots beyond Seoul; he’s inviting us to step into the story as the ‘main character’ of our own adventure, discovering unique, regional travel experiences. And the best part? There are giveaways where we could actually win trips to Korea! Heart = booked, flight = pending.


Park Bo-gum’s Cinematic Journey Through Korea

The campaign launched with two gorgeous videos:

  • One Day, Korea Came To Me – a short film that feels like a dreamy K-drama episode.

  • On My Way – a heartfelt music video sung by Park Bo-gum himself, composed by K-pop producer KENZIE’s team (KZLAB). It is available for streaming on SpotifyMelon, and YouTube.

Both videos showcase destinations beyond the usual tourist spots like lavender-covered Purple Island in Sinan, sunset yachting in Busan, and ancient cedar groves in Jeju. (I’ve already added them all to my bucket list).

You can watch them now on KTO’s official YouTube channelLG TVs in authorised stores islandwide or even catch them on the massive LED screen at The Heeren along Orchard Road from 4 to 31 August 2025. Imagine shopping along Orchard and suddenly seeing Bo-gum smiling down at you! 😍

Korea Beyond Seoul: Bo-gum’s Hidden Gems

What I love most about this campaign is how it shines a light on regional, interest-driven adventures — perfect for the growing number of FIT (Free Independent Travellers) chasing unique and personalised trips. If you’ve already ticked Seoul off your list, consider this your sign to explore further:

  • Sinan’s Purple Island – lavender fields, purple bridges, and purple ice cream!

  • Yeosu’s Cheongseokpo Beach – perfect for backpacking and quiet coastal walks.

  • Busan’s Marine City & Haeundae – luxury yachts, golden sunsets.

  • Jeju’s Bijarim Forest – home to 800-year-old cedar trees.

  • Pyeongchang’s Yukbaekmajigi Fields – breathtaking stargazing spots.

  • Seoul’s Dongmyo – vintage shop treasure hunts.

  • Changdeokgung Secret Garden – like stepping back into a Joseon-era fairytale.


Win a Trip to Korea with Bo-gum!

Two main giveaways could have us packing our bags sooner than expected:

  1. KTO x LG Giveaway (12 Aug–12 Sep) – Win 1 of 10 return tickets to Korea + LG home appliances. Just:

    • Buy any LG product from an authorised store.

    • Watch and comment on the "On My Way" with Park Bo-gum video on YouTube.

  2. Korea Travel Playlist Challenge – Share your “perfect Korea travel song” and stand to win flights + Amazon gift cards.



Meet Korea at NATAS Holidays 2025

Help Build Bo-gum’s Korea Playlist

By the end of August, a special Korea travel playlist will drop — filled with songs chosen by both Bo-gum and fans from around the world. As part of the cookie video activation, you can share your perfect “Korea travel song” on KTO’s YouTube channel for a chance to win prizes like two return flight tickets to Korea and Amazon gift cards. I’m already daydreaming about which K-drama OSTs would make the cut!

As a fan, seeing Park Bo-gum take us on this journey feels like a dream come true. Whether it’s sipping purple ice cream on Purple Island or sailing in Busan at sunset, this campaign makes me want to explore Korea the way Bo-gum does: with wonder, joy, and a sense of adventure.
