As Korea’s multicultural population continues to grow, Nam-gu will begin issuing a foreign language mobile news service for foreign residents in the district.
The foreign language news service, called “BUSAN NAMGU NEWS”, will be available online and on mobile platforms in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese. The target audience includes foreign workers, overseas students, married immigrants, and tourists living in Nam-gu. “BUSAN NAMGU NEWS” plans to present helpful information for foreigners, including Nam-gu’s major policies, local news, educational projects, events, and exchange projects with relevant countries. The first issue is scheduled to be released on January 20, 2024.
To subscribe, browse the “Busan Nam-gu Newspaper e-book bulletin board” on the Nam-gu Office website (www.bsnamgu.go.kr) or use the “Add friend” feature on the KakaoTalk Plus Friends using a QR code (photo) to add “Busan Namgu News”.
Nations in which foreigners account for over 5% of the population are categorized as multicultural. Korea is expected to reach this threshold in 2024. As of late September 2023, 2.514 million short- and/or long-term foreign residents accounted for 4.89% of the nation’s population. Of those, 6349 live in Nam-gu as of October 2023, marking the area as home to the greatest number of registered foreigners in Busan.
