Korean night on March 26

Korean night was on March 26. Many Koreans and other foreigners went to the Union to see the performances.

During Korean Night, there were many performances that introduce a Korean culture to OU students. Throughout the night, the Korean kids played traditional music instruments like the ‘Sogo’, and ‘Samulnori’ which are Korean traditional percussion quartet. In addition, other Korean girls performed the Korean traditional sword and fan dance. Those who performed were wearing Korean traditional clothes, and many foreigners admired the gorgeous colors of their clothing. The audience also saw a great performance of Taekwondo.

The first annual Korean night took place in 1999, and now Korean night is held every year. Even though Korean Students Association hosts this event, many other Koreans that live in Norman or OKC contribute by donating or performing their talents.

Jieun Han, Korean Students Association director said, “Korean night is so important to us because many Korean exchange students can meet each other, and we can introduce our culture to many foreigner friends. Through this party, many Koreans can remind of our culture in America, and this feeling makes them feel a sense of belonging.”
