Upcoming events

Here is a list of current and upcoming events that have been posted to LKL, sorted by start date. Note that as interest in Korean culture has expanded in the last decade or so the number of social events and recurring classes has significantly increased. Consequently, as editing and uploading time (and database space in our server) are finite resources, we do not post every Korea-related event that we know of. The following are the types of event that we are likely to exclude from the list below:

  • Meet-ups and social events, including language exchange meet-ups and K-pop club nights;
  • Dance workshops, language classes, cookery or make-up / beauty demonstrations.

Where no hyperlink is provided for the event, that’s because we’re still assembling the detailed information for it. A link will follow once we’ve completed and published the relevant events post. Updates to the list (which might be new events, or edits to events already posted) made in the last five days are flagged as *Recent*.
