It is not often that we get to see a top notch writer of Korean heritage writing about Korea in New Yorker. On the heel of the successfully ended, and politically loaded Winter Olympic Games 2018, here is a personal glimpse of hope for the two Koreas by the best-selling author of Pachinko and National Book Award finalist Min Jin Lee.
"After the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Healing the Deepest Fracture…"
KACF in a partnership with Korean Paper Art Group (Mija Yun, dir.) and the Boston Children’s Museum, sponsors the fun during the museum’s Lunar New Year Celebration. Our staffs were there to demonstrate Korean traditional games and capture the fun for children and parents alike.

Congratulations to Do Yeon Kim and Chase Morrin, who have performed in KACF concerts since 2017. The duo performs under the name GaPi which derives from Ga(yaguem) and Pi(ano) of which Do Yeon and Chase are young masters. The groups first album that was produced in Korea through the prestigious CJ Culture Foundation’s support, has recently been nominated as the best album in the Jazz/Crossover category for the Korean Popular Music Awards (the Korean equiv. to the Grammys according to the media). The album contains several pieces that were introduced to KACF audience during the Elegy for the Fallen (2017) and Spring Awakening (2018) concerts. Here are videos that captured the exciting performance at the time:
