Dear KBS members and friends,
This is a friendly reminder of the KBS
event scheduled for Sat 26 Sep:
We are pleased to invite you to KBS Autumn
Excursion 2020: a special walking tour of Kyeongbok-Gung and ChilGung
guided by Dr. In-souk Cho. We will experience the palace with different
insights and also visit ChilGung, which is not very well known to the public
(everyone must present their official photo ID for security
clearance at the gate; managed by the Blue House security team).
Dr. Sunshik Min, the new KBS president, HM
Simon Smith and DHM Nikesh Mehta are confirmed to join us on the tour as well
as other members of the Executive Committee. We hope that you will also be
able to join us on this rare occasion during this special time.
The government just announced relaxing the
Social Distancing Measures down to Level 2 until 27th September, therefore, we
can go ahead with this event.
