What we’re about
This group is for lovers of Korean dramas and other Asian TV, movies, music (K-Pop!), books, food and culture. Since Evelyn Angry-Smith founded this group in early 2015, we’ve enjoyed movie nights, K-Drama premieres, holiday parties and NYC trips. We also explored restaurants in CT, NY and MA.
In 2020 we went virtual due to the pandemic. We hope to restart in-person Meetups if possible in 2021, and we’ll continue virtual Meetups since many of us don’t live near CT.
We also have a Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/swkdrama - and a members-only chat.
Feel free to join us!

- Hallyu! The Korean Wave at the Boston MFAMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston, Boston, MA
Join us March 30, 2024 at Boston MFA
Let's explore the “Hallyu! The KoreanWave, exhibit at BostonMFA.
Today, South Korea is a cultural superpower—a global trendsetter producing award-winning films like Parasite, riveting dramas like Squid Game, and chart-topping music by K-pop groups such as BTS and BLACKPINK. But behind the country’s meteoric rise to the world stage—a phenomenon known as the Korean Wave, or Hallyu—is the story of remarkable resilience and innovation.
