The Korean Film Festival in Los Angeles (KOFFLA) is set to kick off on March 4. The 4-day festival will be held at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.
Attending opening night is Le Grand Chef 2: Kimchi Battle stars Kim Jung-eun (Lovers in Paris) and Jin-gu!
John Cho (Harold and Kumar & Star Trek) is the spokesman for the KOFFLA while Park Chan-wook (director of Old Boy & I’m A Cyborg, but that’s OK) is part of the advisory board.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, more than 60 features and shorts will be shown at the festival, and there will be special events such as a master class with cinematographer Kim Hyung-ku and an Actorfest – a one-day event for actors and aspiring actors to participate in panels, workshops and meetings.

Cool Vic, will you be going for the film fest?
If you are, screenings will be at three different theaters: the Egyptian theater, the Grove and Laeammle's Music Hall 3 in Beverly Hills.
Enjoy!
Yeah Liz! I'm actually doing my own "Mind Your Korean". We have a RED HOT teacher. Her name is Arel Kim, and she teaches where I work, at CSULB. (I have never seen her here)
Last night we did not have a class. We had a "Daeboreun" festival. This is the first full moon, after New Year. The food was totally KILLER!! and we played some Korean games. In particular "Yunnori". A seemingly super simple stick +board game that was way more interesting that I thought it would be!! A very good evening!
