Experience The Best of Korea – Korea Fest 2022 at 1Utama, Petaling Jaya

Following a successful weekend festival, Korea Tourism Organization fulfilled the appetite of more than 10,000 visitors with the return of Korea Fest 2022 which ran from 4 to 6 November 2022 at LG Oval, 1 Utama Shopping Centre. I was invited to check out the event and I get to participate in some of the activities prepared for all the visitors.

Korea Fest 2022 took place from 4 to 6 November 2022 at LG Oval, 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

Throughout the three-day festival, visitors were feted to a truly K-everything festival experience from K-beauty to K-Culture, and K-Performances to K-Food. This included an Extreme Dance Comedy performance by Breakout - a combination of gymnastics dance, house music, hip hop moves and extreme dance styles. Culture buffs were enthralled with Black Dot, a performance that combined Korean Calligraphy and Taekwondo martial arts to express the true colors of Korea.
