January Workshop and Q&A in Los Angeles, CA

Big thank-you to everyone for RSVP'ing to attend the meet-up on this date even though you had no idea what the event was going to be about. That means a lot to us!

Also, I deeply appreciate your suggestions. You helped me make a final decision on what we will be doing on this date - and what we will be doing for the rest of the year!

Since our first meet-up of the year was for the daring palates, the second one will be for the seekers of learning experience: we will have informal workshops and Q & A session in which you get to ask pretty much any question you've been wanting to ask a Korean, from pronunciation to culture to something you weren't quite sure whom to ask. And oh yeah, we will have a mixer to get to know each other too.

Even if you are not interested in workshops, please come to the mixer! It will be short and sweet.


We will have informal workshops and Q & A session in which you get to ask pretty much any question you've been wanting to ask a Korean, from pronunciation to culture to something you weren't quite sure whom to ask. As always, we will have a mixer to get to know each other during and/or after the workshop.

Please read the instruction below thoroughly. Thank you!
