Korean Ambassador Visits Cebu

H.E. Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Lee Hyuk was in Cebu recently. To welcome the Ambassador, Korean Consul General Atty. Augusto Go hosted lunch at the Cebu Country Club for the members of the media to meet his Excellency. Ambassador Lee Hyuk was accompanied by his beautiful wife Madame Won Wan Soo. Also with Ambassador Lee was Kunho "Ken" Choi, Korean Association President in Cebu.

According to Ambassador Lee, he was impressed with the Cebuanos since they are hospitable and friendly. He added that there are now 20 to 30,000 Koreans living in Cebu. In fact, these Koreans have opened businesses like restaurants, food mart and selling their own products to the Cebuanos.

There was a good repartee during the presscon, and the media was delving on the controversial Korean noodle. Of which, the good-looking Ambassador explained that the manufacturing company has been doing everything possible to correct the controversy.

After lunch and presscon, Ambassador Lee left for the airport back to Manila.
