Korean Embassy, KCC hold free film screening ahead of Winter Olympics

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea and the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC) will offer free film screenings of “Take-Off” and “Run-Off” at 5 pm and 8 pm on February 9 at the KCC Wave Hall, Taguig City to celebrate the opening of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics in Korea.

“Take Off” depicts the story on how the first Korean national ski jump team was formed. In 1997, Korea bids to host the 2002 Winter Olympics. However the International Olympic Committee (IOC) judges wonder how Korea, without having its own national ski jump team, could host the Winter Olympics. A national ski jump team then was hastily put together as part of Korea’s bid to host the Winter Olympic Games.
