The event will start with Korean food distribution to the underprivileged by Ambassador Lee Wook-heon, national taekwondo coach Choi Young-seok, national para-taekwondo coach Shin Young-kyun and Tokyo Paralympic medallist Kwansuda Puangkijja at 6.30pm.
The main event will feature Korean and Thai cultural shows.
