Inaugurated in 1979, the Korean Cultural Center New York (KCCNY) is a branch of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea.

NY Senator John Liu said, “The Korean Cultural Center New York’s diverse programs have enriched New York’s cultural landscape. Through their wide range of events, we hope that all New Yorkers, not just the Korean community, experience Korean culture firsthand and to improve their quality of life,” explaining the reason for the presentation of the Proclamation.
