The pop-culture zeitgeist has put a spotlight on Korea with the popularity of Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” and “Squid Game,” K-pop boy band BTS and various independent films (“Parasite,” “Past Lives”). That energy is coming to Long Island with Korea Festa in Huntington, Aug. 30-Sept. 1, presented by Good News New York Church and International Youth Fellowship USA.
"People are very interested in Korean culture these days and we are riding that wave,” event organizer Daniel Oh said. “The focus is to spread Korean joy all throughout Long Island. We also want to introduce people to our church, which has been in Huntington for over two decades.“
The Labor Day weekend event will be packed with Korean experiences for people to enjoy. Here are the highlights.
