The Australia and New Zealand Association of Korea (ANZA Korea) and the Ambassadors Spouses Association in Seoul (ASAS) hosted a Morning Tea to celebrate Dr. Keysook Geum, the designer of the PyeongChang Olympic Opening Ceremony costumes, at the Shilla Hotel last Friday.

Guests at the event were given a chance to meet Geum and view a sample of her creations worn by the flagbearers who led each country's delegation in the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Games.

Twenty-five of the 30 models who participated in the opening ceremony were also presented with certificates to thank them for their contributions.

ANZA is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization committed to raising funds for Korean charities.
