Provincial county offers winter tour via wine therapy, taekwondo

By Margareth Theresisa

Nine foreign promoters of Korean culture on Jan. 7 visited Muju-gun County, Jeollabuk-do Province, to get a taste of the country's winter.

Korea.net Honorary Reporters and K-influencers shared their experience in a snowy landscape despite the cold temperature of below 0 degrees Celsius.

The nine were divided into two teams, with one group going to Muju Deogyungsan Resort to hit the slopes. Though it was a weekday, the venue was filled with the visitors' energy.

Those trying skiing for the first time quickly adapted thanks to expert guidance from the instructors and smiled while skiing down the slopes. K-influencer Kavya Sudesh Kumar from India said, "At first, I was very scared but after falling a few times, I gained confidence."

The other group headed to Muju Meoru Wine Cave, which was warm and cozy unlike the bitterly cold outside. The members sipped wine and took foot baths in the drink to rest.

Honorary Reporter Aiyanyo Titi from Nigeria gave a thumbs up, saying, "The wine foot bath was a truly a relaxing and healing experience."
