UCLA Hanoolim Holds Korean Culture Night at Royce Hall


True Colors, a romantic comedy, was written by Reuel Kim, my small group co-leader.

I attended a play at UCLA held by Hanoolim — a Korean culture club — that included traditional dancing and music (including drums).

It was a modern-day story centering around a 26-year-old Korean American woman (adopted by white parents) who teaches an art history class as she works toward a PhD.

I enjoyed the interplay between the performances on stage, and the crowd's reaction.

Note: Korean Culture Night is an annual stage production presented on the UCLA campus. It is the largest known Korean culture performance in the nation.
