Celebrating Chuseok at LWC

By Sabine Eastham

On September 25th, from 2-4pm, roughly 45+ students and community members gathered at 304 Lindsey Wilson Street (International Student Program House) for the first in a series of TED* (Transcontinental Educational Discussion) talks, to learn about, and celebrate Chuseok.

What is Chuseok? Chuseok, or Autumn eve, as it is translated, is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in North Korea and South Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar on the full moon. Like many other harvest festivals around the world, it is held around the autumn equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food.

After an informative slide-show on the holiday, attendees were able to sample homemade traditional Korean cuisine prepared by our Korean exchange students. On the menu, we were served japchae (a sweet and savory dish of stir-fried glass noodles and vegetables,) sanjeok (a skewered dish made with a large variety of meats, vegetables, egg-washed and pan fried), and Sikhye (a sweet Korean rice beverage, usually served as a dessert.)
