Celebrities such as top star Jang Dong-gun, film director Kang Je-gyu, and singers Kangta, MC Mong, Epik High and Seo Ji-young, will publicize South Korean pop culture in the United States.
Popular South Korean celebrities will attend an event entitled "Glimpse of Korea" to be held at Universal Studios in Los Angeles in March. They will include South Korea's leading entertainers and director: Jang, who has made his name known at the Berlin International Film Festival as a hallyu star, actress Kim Yunjin, who has made inroads into the American entertainment industry by acting in the American TV drama "Lost", film director Kang Je-gyu, who directed the film "Taegukgi: Brotherhood of War", and top South Korean singers and groups such as Kangta, Seo Ji-young, Maya, MC Mong, Epik High and Jewelry.
"Glimpse of Korea" was first held in October of last year. It is an event aimed at introducing the hallyu boom to American audiences.
During the five-day event, singers Kangta and Seo Ji-young will give a performance on Mar. 17. The South Korean actors and filmmakers will meet their American counterparts during the event.
The upcoming event will likely also be attended by Sandra Oh, the winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 63rd Golden Globe Awards, and world-renowned film star Jackie Chan.
"So as not to make it end up as a mere event, we're going to arrange meetings between South Korean and American filmmakers and actors and publicize Korean culture through performances by singers and exhibitions", said an official from the event's organizing committee.
