We are pleased to announce the soft opening of the Book Café, a new space within the Korean Cultural Center made possible by the completion of interior renovations. This event marks the introduction of the Center's first book café space and celebrates the beginning of the diverse cultural exchanges that will take place here going forward. The event will open with a gayageum performance, followed by the "Collective Reading Lounge," where participants are welcome to freely select a book—whether one they've brought themselves or one available at the book café—and enjoy reading together. We would be delighted if you could join us to set aside the week's fatigue for a moment and enjoy a relaxing evening with a book and Korean tea.
