Eat Your Kimchi Meet & Greet

 

The Korea Club and EASSU started 2014 off with a bang, thanks to UofT Alumni and Youtube sensations Eat Your Kimchi!  Nearly 300 people braved the freezing cold to meet the stars, and asking their most pressing questions about everything from K-Pop to Korean society and more!  The event was followed by a group photo session, where fans got to talk more intimately with Simon and Martina, as well as take some amazing group shots.

Audience members excited to ask their questions during the Q&A period!

Korea Week

In 2011-2012 we held a week-long series of events celebrating Korean culture known as Korea Week! It was kicked off with a Monday Movie Night, where we watched Twilight Gangsters. Tuesday we held a meeting where we taught students how to write in Korean. For White Day Wednesday, we held a Kimbap making class. Time to Play Thursday rolled around and we had a fun Karaoke outing! The week ended on a high note with our Fun Times Friday, which marked our year end social.
