Joo Ji-hoon was awarded the Prime Minister's Commendation at the '2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards'.

The '16th Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards,' held on the 23rd at the National Theater of Korea's Haeoreum Theater by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in conjunction with the Korea Creative Content Agency, is the most prestigious government award in Korea. It was established to enhance the social standing of popular culture and art figures and to honor their efforts and achievements.

Joo Ji-hoon's selection as a recipient of the Prime Minister's Commendation reaffirmed his undeniable status and influence in the popular culture and arts scene.

Taking the stage, Joo Ji-hoon stated, "I am very honored to be here with my fellow seniors and juniors who are working together in popular culture and the arts. I will work harder in the future. Thank you." Joo Ji-hoon, who began his full-fledged acting career in 2006 with the MBC drama 'Princess Hours', has become a leading actor who combines acting skills, popularity, and box office success, crossing between film and drama series such as the movie 'Kidnapped', 'Project Silence', 'Dark Figure of Crime', 'The Spy Gone North', 'Gentleman' and Disney+'s 'Shop for Killers', tvN's 'Jirisan', 'Hyena'. In particular, his performances in the 'Along with the Gods' series, which mobilized 27 million viewers in Chapters 1 and 2, and 'Kingdom' have been praised for greatly contributing to the globalization of K-content. Notably, Joo Ji-hoon recently garnered attention with the trauma code in 'Shop for Killers'. This work ranked first in the non-English TV show category on Netflix upon its release, and held an Asia tour, once again realizing not only the drama fandom but also Joo Ji-hoon's global popularity. In addition, he has been steadily active in various fields of popular culture and art, including participating as a judge in the recent '21st Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival', and is receiving constant love calls from the advertising industry, including liquor and health foods. Joo Ji-hoon is currently filming Disney+'s 'The Queen of Divorce', which is scheduled to be released in 2026.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
