Hangeul
The Korean wave has been continuously expanded with overseas expansion of Hangeul (Jointly with Hangeul Overseas Supply Association, KRW20 billion in 2006)
- Overseas Korean Councils will serve as the bases for Hangeul education after 2007, and the education support will be provided.
Development of cultural products using the Hangeul alphabet will be promoted (Neck tie, T-shrits, and souvenirs)
Mid- to long-term projects to make Sejongro a space for Hangeul culture will be carried out.

I’m not sure a tacky T-shirt will do the job. But Lee Gun Maan’s accessories are seriously gorgeous.
