Rabat – Rabat is set to welcome a vivid encounter with Korean culture as the Embassy of the Republic of Korea prepares to host the 2025 Korean Culture Week on May 15 and 16 at the Mohammed V Theater.
Over two carefully curated days, visitors and K-culture enthusiasts will discover a culture that moves between elegance and energy, the embassy explained in a statement.
The program mixes and matches refined traditions with contemporary flair, while also offering Moroccan audiences a glimpse into Korea’s many layers, from its lyrical past to its dynamic present.
The opening evening, scheduled for Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m., promises a memorable start fit for a memorable event.
A classical concert titled “Arias of Spring: Echoes of Korea” will pair Western opera with Gagok, a traditional Korean vocal form known for its emotional depth and poetic language.
Musicians from the Regional Conservatory of Music and Choreographic Arts in Sale will join the stage and promise to weave Moroccan sounds into the performance. This one-of-a-kind encounter between two musical heritages invites the audience to listen across borders.
The following day, the theater’s grounds will turn into an open window onto Korean popular culture. Audiences can step into the surreal world of Squid Game through playful reinterpretations of the series’ now-famous games. But the experience does not stop there.

The day’s program includes a Hanbok fashion show that brings traditional Korean attire to life, beauty demonstrations that draw from Korea’s influential skincare scene, and hands-on activities that open the door to the country’s fast-moving pop culture.
K-pop fans will find their moment as the event draws to a close with a concert featuring several energetic performances.
A Random Play Dance session will follow, where strangers can turn into dance partners and where the rhythms of Korean pop invite loyal fans and curious newcomers to join in.
Through this celebration, the Korean Embassy seeks more than entertainment. It sees the 2025 Korean Culture Week as a gesture of cooperation, a way to deepen the ties that have connected Morocco and Korea for more than 60 years, the statement concluded.
