2023 Korea-ful Night

House of Korea is happy to unwrap and reveal 2023’s Korea-Ful Night: Present.

Through this event, House of Korea announces that we are “present”. The event commemorates the past–the historical significance of 70 years of alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea, and the 120 years of Korean immigration to the United States–but also celebrates the “present”. And as we “present” the night, the hope is that we also lay a foundation for the future.

Featuring speakers like the award winning, lawyer-turned-documentary filmmaker Mr. Joseph Juhn and Associate Professor of Dance at SDSU Dr. Chuyun Oh, and performances by UCSD KOTX, SD Korean Folk Dance Association, and San Diego Catholic Singers.

An array of interesting guest speakers sharing their stories, along with a Korean food buffet, captivating cultural experience booths, and Korean music live performance, this year, we are spreading Korean culture one inspiring chapter at a time.

Featuring speakers like author of I Will Work for Nothing and 2017 Ellis Island Medal of Honor winner Dr. Chun Bin “Charlie” Yim (임천빈 ) ; CEO and Co-founder of Robolink Mr. Hansol Hong (홍한솔); CEO and Founder of The Destiny Lab Ms. Angela Quach, and more.
