On October 24, 2025, the Korean Language Program hosted Korean Halloween Night at the Main Library, room 112, turning the space into a lively celebration of language and culture.
The evening opened with a bustling array of interactive cultural stations, each offering a glimpse into a different facet of Korean tradition. Students lined up to learn their 사주 (saju - Four Pillars of Destiny) and make 부적 (bujeok) charms for good luck, while others gathered around tables to craft delicate 청사초롱 (cheongsachorong) lanterns, their soft colors glowing against the autumn dusk. Nearby, students took time to write their names and wishes, drawing inspiration from Korea’s full-moon folklore. Another corner buzzed with creativity as students designed their own K-inspired pins with their names written in Korean, while others stopped by to learn about opportunities to study Korean language and culture at the University of Arizona.
Following the cultural activities, students gathered for a raffle of 떡볶이 (tteokbokki) and 식혜 (sikhye), generously sponsored by Oh My Chicken (Campbell & Glenn).
The evening concluded with a special screening of K-Pop Demon Hunters for students enrolled in Korean language courses.
