About us

안녕하세요! Welcome to the DMV Korean Language & Culture Meetup Group
Since March 2023, our community has been growing with one clear purpose: to bring together people in the DMV—Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia—who genuinely want to experience Korean language and culture, not just observe it from afar.

We’re an active, hands‑on group. Every meetup—whether it’s a language session, cultural workshop, cooking class, movie night, social gathering, or educational talk—is a real opportunity to practice Korean, meet new people, and deepen your connection to Korean culture.

Our Mission
We aim to build a vibrant, engaged community of DMV residents who are excited about Korea’s language, history, food, arts, and traditions. We welcome Koreans, Korean Americans, and anyone who wants to learn, connect, and participate. This is a space where you can speak Korean, make friends, and explore culture together.

Why Join Us
If you’re in the DMV and you’re ready to actively participate—not just sign up—this is your group. Come to events, practice Korean, share your interests, and help shape a community that thrives on involvement.

Help Us Grow
Know someone who loves Korean culture or wants to learn the language? Invite them to join us. Our community becomes stronger and more fun with every new active member.

Let’s learn, speak, and celebrate Korean culture together. Become a meaningful part of our growing community!

We would love for you to follow us on Twitter @DMV_koreaphiles!
