Hello! This international culture group in Washington DC, Maryland & Virginia, founded in 2006, has over 1000 members, and is the largest Korean-focused meetup in the USA. Thanks for stopping by!  What is being a member of our group like?  Our new 2012 video is packed with years of fun meetup activities... 

...the video needs to be 3 times longer to fit it all of what we've done together!  Check out the highlights from Tamara Kim farther down on this page.

Join this group if you are interested in learning Korean, or if you are Korean and want to share the culture & language with others (& perhaps enjoy English conversation).  Meet with others in the area who are also interested in aspects of Korean culture, music, language, & food. All levels of proficiency are welcome! Our members share their own cultures... American, Asian (Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, others), European (French, Spanish, others), African, Middle Eastern, and some day even Antarctican ;-) !

The meetups are fun events, and many friendships continue to be formed every month. This group gets together to explore & share lots of common interests, & help learn as well. The group is open to adult members from anywhere, and has meetings in the Washington DC Metro Area (North, South, East, West). The members can attend, and also volunteer to help organize events and other activities... a non-profit community-powered group.

Here's our friend & group member Tamara Kim's concert highlights
