Aspects of Korean culture include Korean dance, Korean/ Korean American film, Korean music, Korean art, the Korean/ Korean American community, Korean American politics, Korean/ Korean American businesses and corporations, and the Korean language.The purpose of SYKA is to make young Korean Americans leaders in their communities by helping them develop their skills and talents in any field related to Korean culture or American Society, and to promote Korean culture to all people. The avenue we use consists of education, our weekly events, our written blog, performances, community forums, speaking engagements, and festivals. Through this avenue, we bridge the intergenerational gaps that exist between Korean and Korean American and bridge any barriers between American and Korean.

In addition to music, K-pop has grown into a popular subculture among teenagers and young adults around the world, resulting in widespread interest in the fashion and style of Korean idol groups and singers.
KOREAN CULTURAL SERVICE
