Our good friend PK, founder of Kollaboration, has graciously organized a benefit show for KoreAm Journal. Check out the details and awesome performance lineup below. Come out and be entertained — and support a great magazine!

Hello readers and friends.

You may have stumbled here after reading our Open Letter in the August issue of KoreAm Journal or perhaps after visiting our official website. Regardless of how you found us, we’re happy you’re here.

Now please let us explain why we’re here.

KoreAm Journal has been around for 18 years. Yes, we’re old — or as we like to think of it, old school — though our passion has always been sharing the news, stories and issues of the Korean American community in the freshest of ways. In recent months, we’ve explored everything from international adoption in South Korea to same-sex marriage to Yul Kwon’s love life — you know, the important stuff. We serve as an exciting hub for Korean American voices and showcase the faces you won’t find in mainstream magazines. With limited resources, we’re doing it all.

And we’re not done yet.

But times are tough in the world of ethnic media. In order for KoreAm to continue to survive and thrive, we need your help. That’s why we’re launching this three-month Save KoreAm campaign. Please browse this website for ways to support this pioneering magazine and spread the word about our cause.

And if you have any questions, ideas or if you simply wish to share what KoreAm means to you, please comment here or contact us. We want hear from you.

Every word and dollar makes a difference. There’s still more work to be done as we continue this campaign through November. We invite you to keep track of our progress on our UPDATES page.
