Festival of Performance
Hallyu, the Korean Wave
On a glamorous stage in the heart of the festival, Korean traditional cultural performances,
Korean celebrity shows, and a variety of fun programs will be presented.
As Los Angeles Korean Festival pursues both following new trends and keeping tradition alive at the same time,
this aspect of the festival draws a diverse crowd in both age and ethnicity
while the makeup of the stage brings pleasure to all of the audience during the festival.
Through the power of Hallyu, we hope that LAKF attendees can now enjoy the festivities and performances that are spreading from Korea to the world.
We plan on creating an enjoyable and memorable time for everyone to come and enjoy the renowned performances on our fabulous stage!
Representative Cultural Performance
The highlight of the performances are easily the ones of historical class, like tightrope walking, fan dancing, and Korean drums. Teams of that represent Korean culture put on shows that cannot be seen easily outside of the Los Angeles Korean Festival. In the past, the festival has been graced by the wonderful presence of reputable groups such as the Ansan City Korean Traditional Orchestra, Tongpyeong Mask Dance, World Taekwondo Headquarters (Kukkiwon), and the Taekwondo Association.
7080 PROGRAM FOR THE MIDDLE-AGED
The 7080 generation is marked by a period of a difficult social atmosphere in which Koreans used music to flee into romanticism. A designated room has been prepared for the enjoyment of both pop and folk music, refreshing beer and acoustic guitars, to create a reminiscent, nostalgic and supportive environment. It is a great moment to pause and celebrate with entertainers of that time like Hyun Sook, Kim Heung Gook, Yoon Hang Gi, Juk Woo, Shin Seung Woo, Ju Hyun Mi, and other celebrities
K-pop
HALLYU. The all-encompassing term referring to Korean pop culture from K-pop, K-dramas, K-movies, etc. has been on the rise. K-pop started the wave and continues to sweep the world with artists like BTS, BlackPink, Epik High, etc. The LA Korean Festival has a long record of performances by JYP, Rain, Wonder Girls, Mamamoo, Georgia, Vasco, and Ulala Session, many festival attendees look forward to the performances at the Los Angeles Korean Festival.
