Welcome to KCCLA

Director Sangwon Jung

Greetings:

The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA) promotes Korean culture and serves as a central hub for cultural exchange in Los Angeles. Operated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea, KCCLA connects local communities with Korea’s rich cultural heritage.

KCCLA introduces the public to diverse and outstanding aspects of Korean culture—from traditional arts and language to contemporary trends. Through its wide range of programs, the Center fosters greater understanding and appreciation of Korea while strengthening cultural cooperation and friendship between Korea and the United States.

Our organization regularly hosts cultural events, educational programs, and art exhibitions to showcase the many wonderful forms of K-Culture that have emerged from the Korean Wave, including K-Pop, K-Food, and K-Cinema. By engaging the public and celebrating Korea’s cultural diversity, KCCLA continues to build lasting cultural and diplomatic connections across communities.

We invite you to visit KCCLA and experience the beauty of Korean culture firsthand through our programs and exhibitions. For upcoming events and news, please visit our official website and follow our social media channels. We look forward to welcoming you to KCCLA!

Director, Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles
