Ji-Shin-Balb-Gi is one of Korea’s traditional rituals, performed to the “spirits of the earth” for wishing good luck in the Lunar New Year. The ritual involves the playing of Poong-mul that unites drumming, dancing, and community celebration as one.

Let's Celebrate New Year
Join us in Griffith Park to greet the rising sun of the New Year. Groove to the rhythms of Korean drumming, song, and dance (POONGMUL) as the sun's rays continue to bathe us with warmth, hope, and well wishes for the New Year.
Meet us at Griffith Park, 5:30 a.m. to hike up to the top where we greet the sunrise, facing the Hollywood sign. Otherwise, meet us up at the top by 6:30 a.m. (about 29 minutes before sunrise).
If you want to be part of the preparation, meet us at KRC at 4 AM (yes, that early!). Got questions? Contact Jin O Jung

Sip Tea, Save Children
KRC is campaigning to protect the health of all children and their families regardless of their immigration status by advocating for an expanded State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Just days after the inauguration, KRC will mount two art exhibits in D.C. at a Congressional building and Union Station’s West Hall to send this message. You can support this campaign by donating and purchasing tickets at our fundraiser tea house.
