[Bonus]

Okay. It has been more than 2-weeks since the National Brand Exhibition open on Dec. 3.
I go to the Art Center three times a week and everytime I go there so many people ask me the same questions; many people get confused as Naminara Republic is one of countries in Africa.  Sometimes people are looking at the flag of Naminara Republic and questioned if this country has any relationship with Turkey. And... it made me to think. 'It would be great if I wrote some of it on our Blog!'

I am so pleased to inform you all and these following are my answers to them.

Q : Where is Naminara Republic?

A : Naminara Republic is the Nami Island that is located at the boundary of
     Gyonggydo, Gapyung and Kangwondo, Chooncheon.
     Naminara, the beautiful scenic spot, is craving for such a wonderland and imaginary world
     come true in reality for people who love nature, culture and arts.
     In fact, we became independent on March. 1st, 2006.
     As we hold diverse international festivals and events, we are working worldwide and   
     have very  warm-hearted international relationships.

Q : Why Nami Island is named after 'Naminara Republic'?

A : First of all, it is fun. Who could think about such an idea to build a 'nation' in Korea. 
     It is not possible.  Our moto is 'Do sth opposite, Try sth different!'
     We want to be different and the one tourist attraction that represents Korea well.
