PYEONGTAEK, South Korea – American and Korean families gathered Nov. 16 to participate in a thousand-year-old tradition that continues to remain relevant today.
Kimjang, a communal gathering to make and preserve large amounts of kimchi for the winter, is considered to be as old as the fermented dish itself.
This weekend at Pyeongtaek University, the Korean-American Children's Cultural Exchange Association hosted its 7th annual US-ROK Kimchi-Making Festival, which drew more than 40 U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys community members and 100 local Korean residents.
