There will be a number of things distributed to the event participants, including A VIP 'KBOX' worth 140,000 KRW (~124 USD), a private cultural exchange voucher, Korean cuisine recipes, and more.

CEO Cho Jung Soon remarked, "The Hallyu gift box 'KBOX' completely sold out in August and September, and it drew much attention during Jung Jun Ho & Cha Seung Won's Tokyo fan meeting. Using this as a stepping stone, we are honored to opened such a meaningful event at Korea's greatest resort, the Banyan Tree Club. We believe that this will be another opportunity for us to spread more 'Koreanism' awareness."
