Exploring Hallyu: A Night of Korean Culture at CPP

Korean-pop fanatics danced the night away to their favorite songs during K-Pop Night, a collaborative event hosted by ASI and the Everything Hallyu club on campus. 

With the rising popularization of K-pop media in the United States, fans from diverse backgrounds came together to appreciate music from Korean artists New Jeans, EXO, BTS and BlackPink. 

The night was promoted to attendees as a fun, cultural get-together for students to enjoy Korean food, crafts and popular Korean music. 

When first entering Ursa Minor, students were greeted by a dim room with neon lights flashing and dance music blasting. Many participants joined the dance floor and were even able to mimic routines they’ve learned from K-pop music videos. 

The catering was provided by Mochinut, with different versions of Korean corn dogs served, including their fried potato and Hot-Cheeto dogs. For dessert, mochi-filled donuts were a hit amongst guests, with flavors such as strawberry funnel cake, passionfruit and churro.
