00:00We are here at Korea House and it really does feel like a little Korea in the

00:04heart of the French capital here. Giant screens, of course, to watch live Olympic

00:09events to support the national team. And behind me you can see a typical Korean

00:15street food. The queue is already long. We're approaching at lunchtime. Many

00:20supporters and they've come from all over the place like Lucy from America

00:24and Craig from Scotland. I'm gonna sit down with you. Slightly tired. Tell me

00:28why you are here and why did you decide to join the Korean supporters? Because

00:34we wanted to experience another country's culture and their

00:38Olympic spirit. It's a country we've both wanted to visit before but we

00:42hadn't really been encouraged or introduced to the culture. I had also

00:49heard that the food is delicious as well as the beer so I was excited to try

00:54something new. Is this also part of the Olympic experience, the atmosphere of the

00:59Games here in Paris? It really does feel international now. I think we've

01:04got a schedule of a number of different houses today so we're going to visit a

01:07number of other houses throughout the day. It's a good start. I love it. I love

01:11walking around Paris and seeing everybody in their different uniforms

01:14representing their countries so it's been very fun. Thank you very much and I

01:17know you'll be here for the archery. The archery where South Korea clearly is the

01:22best team in the world. It's a bit like with basketball, the USA, the dream team

01:27and many Koreans are here to support their national team and as you've seen

01:31also many foreigners and expats.
