One’s own culture is deeply rooted in the lives of those who live outside of their home country. Culture is one way of means to not only connect to their own history but also to connect with those of different ethnic backgrounds. As a term that embraces many parts of Korea, culture signifies language, food, manners, life styles, music, dances and many more.
Operated by the South Korean government’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles is nested in the Miracle Mile District, and serves as the axis of Korean heritage in Los Angeles.
