As an event of ‘Korean Culture Day’, KSI students made various kinds of Korean traditional masks. In August, 11 students participated in a mask-making class and they chose either Yangban (male mask) or Boone (female mask) and painted their own masks. Once they completed making them, they actually wore them and took pictures with their friends. “I’ll hang my Korean traditional mask at home,” said Zhao Qianwen, one of the students who participated in the class.

Hanoi 3 KSI, Vietnam held a Korean traditional mirror making class. Five KSI students participated and made their own mirror with hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees). Especially, instructor Soo-min Lee had put whole-hearted efforts to prepare for the class that she even took a Korean paper art class from association of Korean residents in Hanoi just to conduct the class at KSI. “I truly enjoyed making Korean traditional mirror which I used to just watch on the television,” said Pham Khanh Linh, a student who participated in the class.
