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.

  • 4:30pm – Registration Begins / Cultural Experience Booths
  • 6:00pm – Buffet opens
  • 6:30pm – Introductory speakers
