Overview of Binggrae's official sponsorship of the 48th Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee
Binggrae said it will support the event as an official partner of the 48th Session of the World Heritage Committee, which will be held at BEXCO in Busan from July 19 to 29. The sponsorship is part of a heritage protection agreement Binggrae signed with the Korea Heritage Service in June.
Plan to provide non-sale Banana Flavored Milk and limited-edition packages
Binggrae plans to offer non-sale Banana Flavored Milk with messages supporting the successful hosting of the 48th Session of the World Heritage Committee at the lounge used by event attendees. To encourage consumer participation, the company will also release a limited-edition four-pack of Banana Flavored Milk. The outer packaging will also carry support messages to highlight the significance of hosting the committee.
Support for the Kim Gu exhibition space at K-Heritage House
Binggrae will also support an exhibition space dedicated to Kim Gu at K-Heritage House, an official side event of the host country. K-Heritage House will operate as a special exhibition space during the committee meeting, introducing Korea's cultural heritage and the value of world heritage to domestic and international participants. In 2026, the exhibition space will be created around Kim Gu's philosophy of the "power of culture" and peace, as the year marks the 150th anniversary of his birth and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage commemorative year.
Background of the national heritage protection campaign and the role of President Kim Dong-hwan
A key background to this sponsorship was the continued interest of Binggrae President Kim Dong-hwan. He has long been interested in protecting national heritage and spreading awareness of the value of independence movement relics, and has actively supported related initiatives. Kim said he agrees that protecting national heritage goes beyond simple social contribution, as it is about passing on its value and meaning to future generations, and he has continued those efforts.
Significance of hosting the World Heritage Committee
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee is the highest decision-making body in the field of world heritage and an international conference that discusses and decides major matters related to the inscription, conservation and protection of world heritage. It will be held in Korea for the first time in 38 years since the country joined the World Heritage Convention. A Binggrae official said, "We are honored to participate as an official partner of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, which is being held in Korea for the first time," adding, "Through support campaigns using Banana Flavored Milk and a range of sponsorship activities, we will help promote the value of world heritage at home and abroad."
