Orange County KoreanLA Kickoff Event!

Last year, we began hosting events in Orange County in order to meet the needs of our members who lived in that area. We will be officially kicking off KoreanLA Orange County with a social event on February 4th. We will be meeting for Korean BBQ and then moving on to more fun events. If you live in the OC area (or not), we encourage you to come and join us. Your presence will allow our OC host (me) and the rest of the KoreanLA staff, to get a better idea of the type of events to host in this area. If you are interested in attending, please join our meetup or facebook groups. Links will be posted at the end of the post. I hope to have the opportunity to meet everyone soon!

Please welcome our newest Event Organizer, George

You already know George, one of the most resourceful members when it comes to places-to-go in Koreatown (and beyond). George has a been a member of KoreanLA since 2008 - in fact, January 13, yesterday was his anniversary! Yay! Thanks for being with us, George!

I'm delighted that George accepted my request to step up as an Event Organizer for KLCX/KoreanLA. He has already organized a few events, so chances are, you've probably attended some of his events in the past. Please continue to join his events; they're sure to be fun and interesting!

George, thank you, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Special thank-you to everyone, and farewell to Mijoong Yoon

We've had many volunteer instructors who never ceased to amaze us with their eagerness to help us and their smiles. Without them, we couldn't host free classes and workshops for you. Without them, we wouldn't be having Norebang'ean (learning Korean through Korean songs) and study groups assisted by Korea native speakers. Without them, we wouldn't be able to respond to your requests and organize workshops that fits your needs. Without them, we won't be having a professional mixer, attend concerts, have picnics, and and get good deals on Korean stuff.

I want to borrow this space to send special thank-you's to all and every man and woman who've been with us, both KLCX and KoreanLA. Thank you for all your time, time, money, and passion you've given out freely without asking for anything in return.

In no particular order, including office staff, instructors, teachers assistants, organizers, event hosts, IT advisers, marketers, and everyone in every capacity:

Jini Sun, Thomas Lim, Jeong Myung Jang, Keum Oak Hong, Myoungsu Park, Hongjin Chi, Scarlet O'Hara, Gammy Anon, Gammy Anon, Jr., Dolores Espie Hernandez, Suzie "Joyous" Walker, Lorenzo Kim, Lorenzo Lee, John Kim, Soo Yun Kim, JiHyeon Rim, Mijoong Yoon, Jamie Jin, Shihoon Park, YoungHyeon Huh, Hana, Kim, James Kim, Christopher Esser, Grace Lee, Hyobin Hwang, Andree Valdry, David Cho, Nathan Cho, Don, Kim, Goerges Aintablian, Susan Weintaub, William B, Joy Kim, Kang Kim, Caren Kimm, Miranda Weiss, Warren Kim, John Chang, Soo Chang, Ziyoung Hong, Jiyoung Lee, Serom Hana Na, Jung Min Hwang, Christina Kim, Christine Moon, Ami Son, Suwon Son, Myunghwan Kang, Sung Kim, Sang Kim, Ho Myung Suh, Jin Hwa Do, and Minson Nam.

If I missed anyone, please let me know.

Today I send special thank-you to Mijoong Yoon, who moved to Texas two weeks ago. Mijoong joined KoreanLA in 2008. She taught intermediate Korean every 4-6 weeks, and we all know how hard she worked to get the information and resource to you. I am sure she and her husband will enjoy their new lives together in Texas; We will all miss her!

By the way, Yoon is not related to yours truly - we just have the same last name. :)

Thank you again, everyone!

If you have a talent or a skill, and can support KLCX/KoreanLA, please email us your ideas and suggestions. Our goal is to make sure we all have fun while making things happen for others too. Thank you!

Please welcome Andree Valdry, our newest Event Organizer

To many, Andree is not a new face. She's been a member of KoreanLA since 2008. She's also an Organizer of Korean Food Connoisseurs (old Korean BBQ Groupies).

I'm delighted that Andree accepted our request to step up as an Event Organizer and to organize foodie events for KoreanLA. Many of us are big foodies, and I have no doubt she (and her group's AO's) will bring so much to KoreanLA! Please join our future foodie events.

Andree, thanks and we look forward to seeing you soon!
