Those who go will also get the chance to dress up in authentic Korean clothes.
There will also be a Korean drama/film DVD bazaar.
Aside from the day event, there will be a four-day exhibition at the University’s PR1 Gallery. At the exhibition, the snapshots of the 10 years of Korean Studies at the University of Central Lancashire will be displayed.
Dr Sojin Lim, Co-Director of the International Institute of Korean Studies, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be celebrating a landmark moment for our International Institute of Korean Studies.
“Our 10th anniversary is not only an opportunity to reflect on the fantastic work we have achieved in bringing Korean culture to the region in the past decade but to look forward to many more opportunities of showing our students and the local community about the many facets of Korean culture.”
The event starts at 1pm and takes place in Foster Social Space, inside Foster Building, on the Preston Campus.
The exhibition will be held in PR1 Gallery, Victoria Building, between 8 and 11 October, from 10am to 4pm.
