...studied and explored the Korean culture from every possible angle in the past nine weeks. One of the main topics that I found very intriguing and fun was my personal experience in Korea Town when I visited several celebrated sights for my final assignment. My first visit was at the Korean Cultural Center. The landmark provided a fair share of information about the Korean culture here in Los Angeles. The two stories building had many different exhibits about the past, the present and events that realistically showed the Korean traditional life from every possible angle. Historical artifacts, antic fixtures, customary clothing, paintings, and sculptures were among the many items that represented the vibrant Korean life in every detail. Traditional musical instruments were also represented; the Kayagum 12 string instrument that is used in folk music. The Kayagum is made from a rectangular board of paulownia wood with silk strings stretched across it. Another traditional instrument that got my attention during my stay was the Pyonjong percussion instrument that constructed with two rows of 8 metal bells, thus giving the instrument a range of precisely 16 tones. There were many other different types of plucked string, bowed string, struck string, transverse wind, vertical wind, and percussion instruments just name a few that illustrated the colorfulness of the Korean music history (Angelfire.com, 2011).

...I went to a restaurant called Chalon and as I was walking to the door I saw it said 'Authentic Japanese Restaurant.' This started to make me think about sushi, sashimi and all the other raw food. As I opened the door I was asked how many people were eating, since it was only 6:30pm, there weren't a lot of people there. As we were walking to our seats I was wondering why nobody was eating any sushi or sashimi. Then we were given our menus and I realized that they don't sell any sushi! This was the reason I chose this restaurant. How could Chalon call itself an authentic Japanese restaurant when they don't even sell sushi? Chalon is a family restaurant, which means crying babies and whining children. The quiet atmosphere completely changed at 7:00pm. People started to flow into Chalon and there were 2 or 3 babies crying for at least half an hour. Outside a line of 20 people was growing longer by the minute. Chalon provides quiet and slow jazz music and the lighting was bright. Even though it said that Chalon was an authentic Japanese restaurant, you could order western and Korean food. The menu was separated into entrée's, Korean, Japanese, Western and desserts and salad. There was also a separate children's menu which they gave to my friend who they thought was a child but was actually 1 year older than me but just shorter. The Japanese food was mainly you-don noodles; Korean was mainly rice and the western food was grilled meat. I ordered the Korean stone rice, which...

...K-pop swing Although Korean dramas remain popular among Malaysian fans, K-pop has garnered an equal, if not bigger, number of followers over the last few years. In 2006, TVXQ became the first Korean band to perform in Malaysia, opening the gates for other K-pop stars such as Rain, Super Junior, Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation to showcase their music here. Nini Yusof, country manager (advertising sales Malaysia) with Universal Networks International (which runs the E! channel, among others) feels this growing interest is reflected in the increasing number of K-pop acts that have performed here. “Now, you can see at least one K-pop act performing here every three months.” DiGi, which has been hosting various K-pop “parties” with stars like 4Minute, Beast, G.NA and recently Jay Park, is also a proponent of K-pop here. “K-pop is a music genre that is very close to the hearts of our customers, especially among the youths,” DiGi's head of marketing services Sulin Lau had said at a press conference promoting K-pop star Jay Park. In fact, a KTO survey conducted in May last year showed that K-pop has indeed overtaken K-drama as the main purveyor of Hallyu in Malaysia and elsewhere. The survey revealed that, driven mainly by the Internet and social media network, more than 53.3% of 12,085 fans from 102 countries chose K-pop as the Hallyu aspect that interested them most. The K-pop influence online was proven when YouTube invited K-pop stars TVXQ and Kara to headline...
