Toronto Kpop Con with Pop! Goes The World

We had a small booth at TKC 2016. It was decorated with two posters and we had a few MVs playing in the background. We also had candy that we gave to people who either danced along to the music or signed up for the mailing list. We had quite a few people who got hyped up because of the songs and some even had dance battles. Overall, we had relatively good traffic at our booth. We would like to thank Pop GoesTheWorld (https://www.facebook.com/popgoestheworld/)for inviting us to join them at this amazing event and most importantly thank you to everyone who visited our booth!

Here are some photos from the event!

We had various Korean snacks at our booth, including Chocopie and Pepero. Our booth also had a display about the Korea club. The event that we hosting was called “Learn to Write you name in Korean!” Basically we had people tell us their names and then we would write their name and then the Korean version underneath. We also had a few people interested in knowing how to say “hello” or “hi, my name __”. We even had a person wanting to know how to say “happy birthday”. To help the people be able to read their names (or the phrases they learned) in Korean, we added the romanization underneath the Hangul. We also added Korean version of “Thank you”, “Move U” and “I love you” onto the Asian Heritage board. Overall, it was small event, but we had quite a few enthusiastic visitors.

아시안 문화의 달 이벤트

이번 이벤트의 저희 부스에는 무료로 시식 하실 수 있는 초코파이, 빼빼로, 양파링, 쿠크다스 등 다양한 한국 과자와, 또한 코리아 클럽이 그동안 주최했던 여러 이벤트들에 대한 전시회가 있었습니다. 이번 이벤트에서는 외국분들께 한국말로 이름을 적어드리기를 했는데요, 이름을 말씀해 주시면 한글로 적어 드리고, 밑에 영어로 발음 표기도 적어드렸습니다. 몇 분께서는 “안녕,” 안녕하세요,” “제 이름은 ___입니다,” 같은 간단한 인삿말을 어떻게 쓰는지 여쭤보시기도 하셨구요, 한 분은 며칠 뒤에 생일이라며 “생일 축하합니다”를 써달라고 부탁하기도 하셨습니다. 또한 아시안 문화의 달 전시 벽에 한국말로 “감사합니다,” “무브 유,” “사랑합니다” 등등 붙여놓아 한국말을 더 널리 알릴 수 있게 돕기도 했습니다. 이벤트의 스케일은 작았지만 저희도, 오신 분들도 재미있고 유익한 시간이였습니다.
