Jusig Bae
President of Korea Custom Tailors and Designers Association

Welcome to the 40th Congress of World Federation of Master Tailors in Busan, South Korea from September 15th to 20th, 2025. I am very happy to meet you again two years after the World Congress in Biella, Italy.

Busan, the 2nd largest city and number one trading hub in Korea, has been a center for trade, commerce, and industry since 1876. It is also home to numerous global events and tourist attractions, including Asia’s largest department store and Haeundae beach.

The Korean Association, with its 78-year history, continues to thrive and develop into the 21st century. We hope this congress will strengthen global collaboration and advance custom tailoring.

Thank you.
