"Last year we welcomed over 70,000 people, and this year we expect even more," said Mike Kim, Chairman of KORUS Committee. "For our 10th annual celebration, we are pulling out all of the stops!"

The KORUS Festival will feature special musical performances from Kollaboration DC (http://kollaborationdc.org) alumni as well as a traditional Korean music performance and a taekwondo demonstration. Audiences will be entertained by a talent show, a singing contest, and a K-Pop cover contest presented by WKTV XM Korea Today (http://wktvusa.com/). Adults can sample a variety of delicious Asian cuisine while enjoying the performances and relax in the cool shade of the food tents. Families and children will be amazed by the Wildlife Exhibit presented by the National Park Service and children can enjoy other fun filled crafts and activities in the kid zone. The KORUS Festival is sure to delight and entertain audiences of all ages!

The KORUS festival will also feature a Kimchi festival in partnership with the "Gwangju World Kimchi Culture Festival" (http://kimchi.gwangju.go.kr). Kimchi is one of the defining icons of Korean culture and a staple with every meal. Audiences can learn about the history, the different varieties of kimchi and even how to make your very own kimchi. The Kimchi festival will recognize special guests Marja Vongerichten, the host of the popular TV show "The Kimchi Chronicles" and Phillip Lee, owner of the "Kimchi Taco Food Truck" from NYC (http://kimchitacotruck.com) as Ambassadors of Kimchi.

Hey guys!

I'm sure a lot of you are already aware that the 2012 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) is being held in China this year!

I'm uploading this thread hoping that although you might not be there for the event, our favorite Kpop groups could use our support by YOU showing YOUR vote.

As I have currently checked, and placed my vote for the event Shinwa is in the lead!!!

No matter where you are, whose fan you are- contribute to the event!

Here are the links for voting:
http://mama.interest.me (Official MAMA homepage)
http://mama.interest.me/bodyEvent (We make MAMA event page!!)
http://mama.interest.me/votetogether (vote together event)

I see that there are a few events that have been provided for us fans! Check out the free gifts that they are offering us :D

And don't be surprised if the website is in Korea- you can change the language setting at the top
A bit of research done by me personally, I found that you can watch MAMA on the following channels:
Korea (Mnet, KM, tvN, OnStyle, StoryOn, O'live, XTM)
Channels for other countries (tvN Asia, Mnet Japan, Mnet US)
And for online! (Mnet.com)

I'm so excited! >_<

Don't forget to place your vote!

Hi there, we want to help people to go out and meet each other, instead of sitting in the front of their TVs and PCs only. We are not after money but we invested a lot in that project and are just wondering whether you like our idea –  watch our 2 min. video here: http://goo.gl/TzfeQ  If you do like it, please, “like us” and follow the link to Microsoft on our website. It is a Microsoft contest and we need “likes” to get them to help us to promote this idea and help as many people as possible, all for FREE. Many thanks. Love you. Martin

So, does anyone have any information of the Korean Music Wave is going to be coming back in Mountain View, CA at Google? Is there also other concerts that is going to be coming up soon besides Korean Music Festival, since that one doesn't have much groups I like. Will they have a concert for SM in LA or Kcon coming up soon?
