Get you and your family ‘Seoul In Love’ at Takashimaya from 15 to 26 March!

Sometimes, you feel like no one understands you… and your love for all things Korean?

Siblings giving you the weird look when you call them oppa (oba?), unnie (orrhnee?), hyung (hiong?), dongsaeng (let’s not even go there)? Parents never understanding what’s so great about your favourite Korean star and their never-aging beautiful looks (no, it’s not plastic – it’s the power of makeup!), or why you insist that chicken and beer should go together?

Seoul In Love

Bring them down to Seoul In Love at Takashimaya and let them experience the love of Korea through the wide range of activities, food and more! There’s something for everyone in the family, and here’s what you can expect at the 12-day Korea extravaganza!

For the K-Poppers

Enjoy exciting KPOP dance performances by groups Cinqswan, G.Moolah and Singapore’s top KPOP dance group and pride, STARREseconds! (For those who do not know, STARREseconds represented Singapore and clinched first place at the 2014 KPOP World Festival in Korea, against strong groups from Thailand, Malaysia, India and more!)

STARREseconds

There will also be a special KPOP dance x Taekwondo collaboration by Ildo Taekwondo; if you are into the likes of K-Tigers, this is not to be missed!

Always had the dream to debut as a KPOP idol? Or wondered what kind of training do your favourite idols go through every day? Come join us at ‘Becoming a KPOP Star’ talk session on 18 March Saturday 5pm, where you can hear all about it from past tvN Kpop Star Hunt Season 1 Top 11 finalist Maressa Zahirah, and past Mnet Miss Korea Season 2 winner Josephine Hung!
