The increase in multicultural families is adding diversity to our society.

But at the same time, it has brought with it a new challenge: a lack of understanding of each other.

KBS has undertaken a meaningful project to publish multicultural folktales to address this issue.

Publishing folktales from four countries, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam, and Japan, in Korean

Children can meet stories from different cultures and naturally develop a sense of understanding and respect.

Familiar stories, closer to unfamiliar cultures

This book is especially meaningful for children in multicultural families.

By reading stories from their parents' home countries in Korean, they can feel a sense of familiarity even in an unfamiliar culture.

A future where we move forward together, through communication and understanding

‘Knock! Multicultural Folktales Found in Korean’ was published by KBS Kang Tae-won Welfare Foundation with the publishing company (주) Asian Herb, with part of the prize money donated by the winners of the KBS 1TV program ‘Our Language Contest’.

KBS plans to expand Korean language and Korean culture education for children in multicultural families, starting with this project.

This is an effort to create a better future where people from different cultural backgrounds can understand and respect each other and live together.
