Hyungji Global's Castelbajac announced Monday that it has joined as an official sponsor of the "French Art de Vivre Exhibition 2026," held to mark the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and France.

The event, organized by the French Embassy in Korea and held at the French ambassador's residence in Seoul on June 10 and 11, was attended by Kwon Yun-tae, general director of Castelbajac, who delivered a congratulatory address. French heritage brands including crystal label Baccarat and Bernardaud, a porcelain brand with 160 years of history, also took part.

Castelbajac is a French-origin artist brand acquired and operated by Hyungji. In April, the brand unveiled its archive to mark French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to South Korea, and in May it held a free archive exhibition at the Textile Center.
