National Heritage Content Recognized on the Global Stage
The media art 영상, a central component of the National Heritage Visit Campaign, has received high acclaim from the international design community. At the iF Design Award, it earned top honors in the 'FORM' category, lauded for perfectly embodying the deep symbolism and aesthetic value of 국가유산 through modern visual language.

This achievement demonstrates that the content possesses not only aesthetic appeal but also artistic merit and creativity, highlighting the 잠재력 of national heritage content to lead global design trends.
Harmony of Tradition and Modernity Through 'Heritage in Bloom'
The acclaimed large-scale media art 영상 that secured these international awards is titled 'Heritage in Bloom: The Beauty of Korea.' Produced under the 주제, 'Korean National Heritage Blooming Anew Towards the Future,' the video masterfully blends traditional Korean beauty with contemporary sensibilities. Its primary goal is to intuitively convey the charm of national heritage, engaging global audiences and encouraging actual visits to heritage sites.
Notably, this video was also highly praised for its scale and technological prowess, having been realized as a media façade covering the entire exterior wall of the 한국관 at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo. It offered an intensely immersive experience by reinterpreting traditional patterns and colors in a 현대적 way, and through visual transformation effects that made the building exterior appear to come alive. Such an innovative approach has significantly contributed to reimagining national heritage not merely as relics of the past, but as 'new heritage for the digital age.'
The Allure of the 'National Heritage Visit Campaign,' Captivating Audiences at Home and Abroad
The 경쟁력 of the National Heritage Visit Campaign's content has been demonstrated not only internationally but also domestically. The brand promotion 영상, 'Korea, A Time Traveler's Story – 창덕궁,' starring actress Jo Bo-ah, garnered significant attention and won a bronze award in the Digital Video – Short Form category of the Digital Creative section at the '2025 Korea Digital Advertising Awards.' This signifies high praise for both its content planning and its ability to engage with the public effectively.
This particular 영상 integrated a contemporary narrative with the serene beauty of 창덕궁, allowing viewers to naturally immerse themselves in the stories embedded within the national heritage.
