The Korean American Globalization Committee of Eastern US has officially announced the new date for NYC’s second annual Korea Day! The date has been modified to AUGUST 16 2011, from the original date of July 29th. The date has been postponed in order to better accommodate the activities and dining for this ongoing heat wave. We apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused the public, but please note that the location, menu and festivities have not been changed.
With the help and support of the Korean Cultural Service NY and many Korean restaurant businesses in the local area, Korea Day aims to share our native Korean culture with New Yorkers in the heart of Central Park.
Start at 11am
End around at 7pm
To open and end the cultural performances, KCSNY has invited from Korea the band ‘Sorea‘, who specialize in performing traditional Korean music, and best known for their K-Pop covers, particularly, SNSD’s Gee.
In addition, the classical orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of CAMERATA Virtuosi NJ, will also be in attendance. Cultural booths will also be set up so that attendees can also try on traditional Korean clothing (hanbok).
Furthermore, the Korean Cultural Services NY (KCSNY director Woo Sung Lee) in collaboration with NJ based, Korean pop culture news website allkpop.com (6Theory Media CEO Johnny Noh) will host the first New York K-POP Contest. Of the many contestants that have auditioned online, the eight teams that have made it to the finals will be performing live at the event on August 16th. The single winner of the contest will receive a round-trip ticket to Korea (sponsored by Asiana Airlines), as well as be able to participate in the ‘Worldwide KPOP Contest” taking place in Korea on November 26, 2011.
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!
