Yes, it is located in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province.

It's a big event where Korean businessmen from around the world gather?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

Here, where I am, a large-scale event is being held where Korean businessmen from around the world gather in one place.

I'm at the corporate exhibition now, and I can meet companies in various fields.

The World Korean Business Conference was first established in 2002.

It has been held under the name of the 'World Korean Conference' for the past 20 years, but it has been renamed the World Korean Business Conference since two years ago,

You can see programs that are even richer.About 3,000 Korean businessmen from all over the world are expected to participate in the competition, which will be held under the theme of

'The Center of Global Business with Overseas Koreans'.

Then let's talk about the competition in detail with North Jeolla Province Governor Kim Kwan-young.

Hello, Governor.

What is the meaning of holding this competition in Jeonbuk first?

[Kim Kwan-young / Governor of North Jeolla Province]
The World Korean Business Conference was held for the first time, and it is the first time in Jeonbuk.

That's why Jeonbuk is the place where the most Korean culture and emotions are preserved.

I think it is the best opportunity to promote the charm and industry of Jeonbuk to businessmen around the world.

So what will be the impact of this competition on the Jeonbuk economy?

[Kim Kwan-young / Governor of North Jeolla Province]
In particular, as Jeonbuk becomes Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province this year, it is functioning as a test bed for high-tech industries. I'm sure it will be of great help to those who come to Jeonbuk because they can show the site, which can create new business opportunities for businessmen who come to Jeonbuk, and expand the export territory that can open overseas export markets for companies in Jeonbuk.

[Caster]
Yes, Governor, thank you for your words today.

Various events such as corporate exhibition halls, opening ceremonies, seminars and dinners at the venue of the competition welcome participants.

We have a job festival that offers many job opportunities, as well as a Genie Forum that offers investment opportunities.

Why don't you listen to Jeonbuk, which is about to take off as a global economic city?
