Advertisements will appear on TV, YouTube and Facebook across the globe, with the first one to be released on Aug. 13 and a total of 22 planned by the end of the year.

They will feature the demilitarized zone on the inter-Korean border and nearby Imjingak Pavilion, as well as night markets, outdoor street food stalls and jjimjilbang, or Korean saunas.
