The festival for the true K-POP fans is back!
The third annual "2013 NY K-POP Festival" is held at the NYU Skirball Center on Tuesday, August 20th at 4:00pm.

This is a great opportunity for New Yorkers and local fans to gather and celebrate their love for K-POP. To elicit greater interest in Korean culture, various hands-on activities are planned, such as food tasting, and trying on traditional Korean clothing, Hanbok.

Woo Sung Lee, Director of the Korean Cultural Service NY, describes the event, “The NY K-POP Festival was organized to have participation of anyone who enjoys K-POP. We wanted to provide a place for fans in New York to experience K-POP music and Korean Culture with their peer K-POP fans.”
