Happy New Year 2026! In this Year of the Fire Horse, we invite you to raise a glass and celebrate a wonderful year ahead.

The Korea Society is pleased to host its 2026 Annual Membership Party on Thursday, January 29, at 6:30 PM at The Korea Society. Held in celebration of the Lunar New Year, the evening expresses the Society’s deep appreciation for our members, supporters, and partners and will feature a variety of Korean cuisine, live performances, and engaging programs, including a raffle and auction.

This year’s event holds particular significance, as it will be the first opportunity to formally introduce our new president, Dr. Abraham Kim, to our community. His arrival marks an important moment of transition and momentum for the organization, and the Membership Party will offer members and supporters a chance to connect with Dr. Kim and engage with the organization’s vision for the years ahead.

This event is at capacity and is no longer accepting registrations.
