LA Korean Festival to bring stars Mamamoo, Sam Hammington, Vasco
It seems the 42nd Los Angeles Korean Festival is looking to the stars — according to the festival foundation, among those coming for the celebration will be K-pop girl groups Mamamoo and D.HOLIC, TV personality Sam Hammington, rapper Vasco, Kim Heung-guk, Hyun-sook, Jeok-woo, Sung Jin-woo and Jieuni.
Foundation President Park Yoon-sook, who traveled to South Korea twice to recruit talent for the festival, said she hopes to put a focus on cultural performances this year in order to spread knowledge about Korea even farther.
More than 130 booths will be installed during the festival, with 60 being operated by Korean companies selling technology, clothing, make-up and other items.
The festival will run four days beginning Oct. 1 in Koreatown’s Seoul International Park.

Where do we get ticket info? Pretty sure this is the same weekend that BiBang is in LA too.
