he heat is on at Trafalgar Square in London one sunny Sunday in August and I am not talking about the unusually hot weather that day. Korea has come to town to rock up London and is firing on all cylinders to showcase the dynamic culture of East Asia’s most innovative developed country. It also boasts of the world’s fastest internet connection speed. Today Korea excels in almost everything they set out to do and this festival is to create awareness among the British of this awesome country and to show them that there are more to Korea than kimchi, Taekwondo, Samsung, Hyundai-Kia and LG. Let the show begins!E v e r y p r o g r a m m e a t t h e festival is branded with the prefix

both traditional and contemporary;
K-cuisine, K-fashion; K-Contents and all things Korean. It is a country steeped in tradition but at the same time embraces and innovates world trends and technology with fearsome effi ciency and dynamism rushing into the 21st century at break-neck speed.
Its fi lm and modern music industry branded as K-pop have gained world recognition and has massive following globally. In fact, I have known many friends and family members who are hopelessly addicted to Korean dramas on television that make mega stars out of the cast.
On a huge stage under the shadow of Nelson’s column, nymph-like female dancers glide round the stage in vibrant pink and white hanboks, the traditional South Korean costumes, doing a fan dance.
It is a graceful dance that needs precise synchronised movement to form spectacular moving patterns with the fans. Th e dancers executed the choreography perfectly. The huge audience send up a rapturous applause. Not to be outdone, the male dancers all clad in white come on stage to perform a fast-paced dance and show amazing skills of twirling white strips of ribbon attached to their headgears by rapid head movements without once tripping on the long trailing ribbons. Once again the crowd roared with approval. Classical musical instruments accompany the dance routines in rousing rhythmic beat. All the folk dances that follow are as riveting and amazing with their gorgeous costumes and lively dance steps that require great skill and co-ordination. Korean cultural dances are famous for their dynamic choreography and fabulous costumes and they deliver on very count at this festival.
To s h owc a s e t h e c o u n t r y’s contrasting culture of traditional performing art and its pulsating pop industry, Korea’s world champion b-boy group, Jinjo Crew, burst on to the stage much to the delight of the younger members of the audience who are obviously big fans of the group. Th ey take break dancing to a new level throwing some breath-taking moves with awesome leg works and gravity-defying head and hand stands. I am breathless just watching the high-octane dance moves of these young street dancers. Th e highlight is the b-boy battle of Jinjo Crew versus UK’s b-boy group, the Mavericks.
There are no holds barred in the dance off as each group tries to outdo the other with mock hostility and spectacular street dance movements.
Uproarious cheer from the crowd as they cajoled the rivalling dancers and bray for more action amidst the eardrum-bursting high tempo ultra yang music enough to wake up dead!
Lord Nelson on his colossal column probably looks down with disapproval at the racket. A famous girl band called f(x) also strut their stuff with their electro-pop melodies and daring costumes. K-pop represents the hip youths of Korea who are marching into the 21st century with attitude, zest and a badass taste for music that put them on the world stage of the pop industry.
Following the theme of marrying classic with contemporary designs, the Hanbok Fashion Show paraded a stunning collection of haute couture of a modern take of the hanboks in sumptuous colours. The ladies’
couture features the jeogori or long-sleeved blouse worn with uneven length skirts, shorter than a traditional hanbok at the front with a long fl owing back skirt creating an elegant and sophisticated look yet still capturing the look of the hanbok. I want one!
Th e male models wear the traditional robes like an overcoat worn over the paji or baggy pants in vibrant colours funking up a simple design into fashionable attire with a modern twist.
Th is fabulous fusion of haute couture trend is just the tip of the iceberg in the Korean fashion scene. Th ey are famous for their luxurious silk and brocade fabric, intricate embroidery and costume jewellery and they are
