South Korean culture hits Beijing this week

To celebrate its seventh anniversary, the Korean Culture Center is holding a series of events for visitors to explore South Korean culture at the 751 LIVE TANK in Beijing's 798 Art District from Thursday to Sunday.

The show Mosai KOREA was the lead in for a series of South Korean shows that debuted in China on Thursday. Mosai KOREA gathered musicians of the traditional Korean zither-like string instrument Gayageum, the bamboo flute Daegeum and Jazz music to perform the perfect mix of traditional South Korean music with Western Jazz. Touring over 23 countries around the world, this is the show's first time in Beijing. From Friday to Sunday, a series of shows including NANTA, JUMP, and HERO will also be presented on the stage.

In addition, top South Korean cuisine masters attended the opening ceremony to demonstrate how to cook traditional South Korean food like Kimchi and fried rice cake. Those who attended the event were able to experience how to cook these foods themselves and then taste the fruits of their labors.
