Thank you to everyone who joined us for Passport DC: Around the World Embassy Tour 2026 at the Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C.! We were thrilled to welcome our visitors for a full day of K-culture—from traditional performances and K-pop dance workshops to hands-on crafts, exhibitions, and our 𝘒-𝘗𝘰𝘱 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘏𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴-themed experiences. Your energy and enthusiasm made the day truly unforgettable. We hope you enjoyed celebrating Korean culture with us—and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

On April 27, our first Book Club session was held and concluded meaningfully with a shared reading and discussion of 'Please Look After Mom' by Shin Kyung-sook. In particular, held ahead of Mother’s Day, the session carried special significance as we reflected together on the meaning of “mother” and motherhood. Participants generously shared their personal reflections and experiences in a sincere and thoughtful manner, and the discussion flowed naturally with active questions and exchanges. This created a lively and engaging atmosphere that went beyond a simple reading group, becoming a truly participatory space for dialogue and shared perspectives. It was also a meaningful moment in which participants from diverse cultural backgrounds were connected through the universal emotion of maternal love, allowing for mutual understanding and resonance across Eastern and Western contexts. Many participants expressed their anticipation for the next Book Club session, and we look forward to continuing with even more enriching and meaningful programs in the future.

The opening reception for Connecting Lines: Works by Park Hyewon and Kim So Jeong was successfully held on April 21 at the Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C.,  welcoming visitors for an evening of art and dialogue. Guests had the opportunity to hear directly from the artists and explore works that reflect on connection, repetition,  and the structures that shape our lives. The exhibition remains on view through June 5, 2026—visit KCCDC to experience it in person.
