The Shops at Skyview, a multi-level shopping destination nestled in Flushing, Queens, is excited to extend an invitation to the community to the first in its series of six “K-Fun Summer School” Korean cultural classes. The event will adopt a “Skyview High” theme and is scheduled to run from now through early August. Each designated week will feature a day dedicated to exploring the vibrant and captivating facets of Korean pop music, art, fashion, wellness, food, and traditional cultural experiences.
The first of these seasonal events, held on Level 4 from 2PM-5PM on Sunday, June 16, will feature a meet-and-greet with K-pop star Jung Dae Hyun. Making his debut as the main vocalist in the six-member group B.A.P, the first K-Pop group to perform in New York’s Times Square, he has since released a solo album and participated in popular musicals such as “Napoleon” and “Grease.” After recently completing his military service, Dae Hyun has been preparing a new album slated for release in 2024. His upcoming appearance at The Shops at Skyview’s “K-Pop Day” marks his first overseas performance since his last U.S. concert tour in 2018, and he eagerly anticipates reuniting with his New York fans.
Celebrating K-Pop music and dance, the June 16th “K-Pop Day” class will also include a captivating performance by the AKF Dance Studio. Participants who attend more than four of these “K-Fun Summer School” classes will receive a “graduation gift” that includes a postcard signed by Jung Dae Hyun.
Each event is free of charge and open to the public. Pre-registration is required and tickets are limited. VIP seating will be available for the first 60 guests who spend $200 or more with retailers at The Shops at Skyview and share their receipts during registration.
