No, it's not a food festival, but it is a celebration of Korean cinema and culture. There will be celebrated Korean films screened at Grauman's Chinese Theater and a highlight is the hand and footprint ceremony for Korean actors Lee Byung-hun ("G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," "A Bittersweet Life" and Ahn Sung-ki, a venerable Korean actor with over 80 films to his credit. This is the first time Korean actors will be part of this ceremony, so it's a pretty exciting event! I'm working with Look East and there will be a fundraiser event with some star Korean chef (or chefs). It's still being sorted out, but it's a big ticket event with a corresponding price. I'll post more details as they figure it all out, since it will be fun to see the menu. </p>
