Glory of Persia in S.Korea

The Persian culture is so absorbing that enamors everyone who understands beauty, elegance, dignity, morality and inspiration.
A great and distinguished sample is Johan Wolfgang
Goethe the fabulous German poet who was vigorously in love of his Iranian preceptor, Hafez Shirazi that he finally devoted his “Western-Eastern diwan” to Persian literature sprouted by Hafez.
A contemporary example can be also mentioned; Prof.
Richard Nelson Frye who is a reputable American scholar involved in Iranology studies, sent an official request of Iranian president, Dr. Ahmadinejad, to be buried in the vicinity of Isfahan’s Zayande Rud after his death & the request was accepted.

Numerous personals in the world are really so bewitched with the Persian culture and civilization that consider IRAN as their second homeland, regardless to their political, scientific or social figure and personality.
Within the last few days, a main headline of global media was inaugurating of the “
Glory of Persia, the territory of Persian Gulf” festival in the national museum of South Korea which attracted lots of Korean citizens and politicians.
The festival
has been carried on along with a comprehensive exhibition of Persian and Islamic civilization consisted of stalls within pictures and paintings, special pavilions for displaying Persian genuine cuisines and edibles, books collections etc.

In addition to all above, the dazzling show of Persian ancient artifacts and historical relics dating back too 600 B.C. was another charming part of the fair attended by thousands of hospitable Koreans.
One of the celebrated visitors was a real lover of Persian culture,
Lee Young ae, an award-winning gifted Korean actress, the goodwill ambassador to UNICEF and the role-player of many dominant TV dramas in South Korea.


As a renowned artist and actress, Lee is very popular in IRAN and mainly called “Yangom” among her Persian fans [Probably more than 20 million fans], frequently been asked for interviews and news conferences.
Yangom chose only to take part inside an exclusive interview with the Iranian TV between thousands of interview requests submitted to her. Mansour Zabetian was the Iranian reporter to whom Yangom interviewed.

“I love Iranian culture, Iranian people and the IRAN. Lee Young replied after a question about the reasons of her decision to hold an interview with IRIB.

Reply: Miss Lee! Iranians are interested in Korea and Koreans with their great Historty, Culture and Civilization too, that glance like a valuable jewel in South Eastern of Asia.

Taking part in the exhibition, Yangom was encircled by many of her fans, taking part in another interview with IRIB, speaking about her deep passion with Persian culture and Iranian people, showing the meaninglessness of geographical borders and frontiers when “Love” and “Peace” comes around and this appreciating human sense is nothing to do with borders, places and times.
