Subject: LACC × KCCLA Poetry Class with Oh Eun — Event Videos Now Available

Los Angeles City College (LACC), in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA), recently hosted “Poetry Class with Oh Eun,” featuring one of South Korea’s most celebrated contemporary poets. The event marked the English translation of his acclaimed collection From Being to Being (유에서 유) and drew an audience of nearly 200 attendees on campus.
We are pleased to share the event recording:
🎥 Full program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hKt8NMQrdU
🎬 Highlight video (featuring the last two poems): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT5mreFC3xg
The program features:

  *   Welcome remarks by Dr. Amanuel Gebru, President, LACC

  *   MC: Prof. Leighanne Yuh, Korean Program, LACC

  *   Historical background lecture by Prof. Namhee Lee, Asian Languages & Cultures, UCLA

  *   Poetry reading and discussion with Oh Eun, who selected and introduced 7 poems from his collection

  *   English interpretation by Prof. Mickey Hong, Korean Program, LACC

  *   English readings by Prof. Evan “Bones” Kendall, English/ESL Department, LACC

Each segment unfolds with a playful rhythm and irony characteristic of Oh Eun’s work: the poet introduces each piece in Korean, Prof. Hong interprets his reflections into English, the poet reads the original poem, and Prof. Kendall follows with the English translation.
These videos offer a valuable resource for Korean literature, translation studies, and language classes, providing students with a vivid look at how meaning, humor, and emotion move across languages. They also capture the spirit of cross-cultural collaboration that continues to define LACC’s growing Korean Studies program.
