Hey all! Halloween's passed now. I hope you all had a wonderful time at home or trick or treating. I finished some homework. Yay! We played Narsha's, "Bi Ri Bba Bba" as members came in. Food fair was the same day so not many members came, so we are grateful to those who did! <3 We opened up our meeting with an MV, as usual, with Epik High's, "Don't Hate Me".

Since our usual cultural teacher was selling for another club at Food Fair, our VP Yen Nhi took the pleasure to do so instead. In Korea, they actually do celebrate Halloween. It's actually very small scale though. It's more of people who DO know about will celebrate in scaring others or roam the streets like this image here (right). I'm not sure if there's candy invovled, but there definitely is some scaring.

We continued the meeting with a continuous show of creepy MVs. We're sorry if a few MVs have disturbed you or creeped you out, but HEY that's the spirit of Halloween! Our list of MVs include: Taeyang - I'll Be There, IU - MIA, Clazziquai - Flea, Sunnyhill - Prayer. Enjoy!

Today’s meeting had lots of news from the K-World spectrum. K-Con is coming up; unfortunately not all of us can go (sobs). There WILL be a live stream from their Facebook page though. Be sure to LIKE the page to have access to their link. Various artists, and Youtube celebrities will be coming like: NU’EST, VIXX, EXO-M, B.A.P., 4Minute, and G.NA. If you haven’t bought tickets yet, you better hurry!

Next on our list of events is the Korean Festival this weekend! There are lots of booths that give out some free stuff, and a stage filled with awesome music (not just Kpop I warn you). I went last year and it was a lot of fun going with friends. There was a booth that sold Kpop albums, AND posters. They had socks with certain celebrities on them too. I’m not sure if the exact same booths will be there, but I can almost guarantee there will be Kpop merchandise.

Garden Grove is having our annual Student Exchange Program with our sister city Anyang! Click on THIS link to find out more. To apply for this program, you DO NOT have to be a member of Korean Club. Our Project Chair Sarah went on this amazing trip last year, and said it was memorable event. If you have the chance to apply, go for it! It’d be awesome if you went!

Chuseok recently passed so at our next meeting we’ll be having a little surprise for out paid members. Be sure to fill out an application to have these awesome benefits! See you guys next week!

It's great to say that our first meeting was a success! There were so many familiar and new faces! The officers opened up with, "Anyeonghasaeyo! 안녕하세요!" Everyone's faces had excitement and anticipation branded on their faces as each officer introduced herself. (All of our current officers are female.)
We went over basic rules such as keep Ms. Whiston's room clean, respect not only the officers, but also each other. We over the the benefits of being a member, discounts! Yay! Sarah, our cultural chair taught everyone 3 phrases, and it was great to hearing everyone repeat the phrases as she taught them I hope we can greet each other well next week! our meeting ending with a Summer Kpop Compilation made by our own Secretary Carol. The video was roughly 13 minutes long, so we didn't get to finish the video this meeting. Surely next week we will. See you all then!
