For 2018 Shin Bang Rye, 27 international students from various countries, including China, France, Morocco, Germany, Czech Republic, Vietnam, etc. participated to experience the culture and history of the Joseon Dynasty. “We tried to make a unique orientation by combining traditional and modern environments.
