Hana Bank announced that it held the 2025 Temple Stay Event from June 28 to 29, inviting about 30 foreign guests to Beopjusa Temple in Songnisan-myeon, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, to share Korean traditional culture and beauty.
Hana Bank has been holding temple stay events regularly since 2011 through a business agreement with the Culture Corps of Korean Buddhism.
This year’s event was the first in six years after being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This event aims to provide foreign guests staying in Korea with an opportunity to experience Korean traditional culture firsthand and to strengthen relationships with customers based on cultural exchanges.
For the convenience of foreign customers, all programs were conducted in English.
They spent a meaningful time experiencing the spirit of Korean Buddhist culture through temple tours, prayer services, Buddhist short prayer beads making, traditional Dancheong (traditional multicolored paintwork on wooden buildings) and tea ceremonies with monks in a quiet mountain temple.
From June 28 to 29, Hana Bank holds the 2025 Temple Stay Event for about 30 foreign customers at Beopjusa Temple in Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.
“I have always been interested in Korean culture and wanted to experience a temple stay,” said a foreign customer of Hana Bank who participated in the event.
“So I am very grateful to Hana Bank for providing this opportunity. In particular, I was happy to have a healing time while visiting Beopjusa Temple, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.”
“This program was intended to expand our connection with foreign customers beyond finance to include culture,” a Hana Bank official said.
“We plan to continue providing differentiated cultural experience programs for foreign customers in the future.”
Meanwhile, Hana Bank hosted the first-ever VIP Foreigner Invitation Event targeting foreign workers in the financial sector in 2024.
Since 2014, it has been hosting the Hana Global Sharing Concert annually, inviting foreign workers and multicultural families, thereby practicing its social responsibility in finance and creating sustainable value in collaboration with global customers.
