Korean Air said Friday it has launched the "Dive into K-style" program to help its new foreign national crew members enhance their understanding of Korean culture and the company.

New employees from Japan and Southeast Asia joined the program in August and October, respectively, with another session set to be held for Chinese employees in December.
