We went to the Korean Cultural Office in Sydney tonight for one of their events: pARTy on the Park. There was a band preforming that is made up of only Korean Australians. They formed this year (created by Kpop Star Australia and Vocal and Dance Entertainment Academy) and for this event they played only Korean music. K-note

Mr Gwon has done a mini review:

K-note played some Korean music that was older songs and some newer songs as well. The lead vocalist and the band leader have really good voices. But the lead singer did most of the talking and no one else talked really… all other band members were quiet!

I liked that they played an EVE song. When I was in Korea and went to karaoke I sang that song all the time. It’s one of my favourite songs so I sang that song when K-note were singing. I think I was of the only one singing along to that one.

They did CNBLUE’s I’m a loner. That’s a good song so I sung along (and my wife loves CNBLUE). I also enjoyed YB “Butterfly” and a Yim Jae-beom “If this night passes”. It wasn’t really a concert, it was just a small event and they didn’t do that many songs. I wanted them to keep playing more songs. There was a good mix of songs, some older songs but also newer ones like Big Bang’s “Monster”. The lead singer also did rapping in songs that had rapping in them and did it really well.

It’s good for me that even though I’m not in Korea right now I can still go and see Korean songs being performed.

The lead singer did a really good job and has a really good voice and tried to get the crowd involved. I think the event needed a better atmosphere and feeling though, somewhere where people can just move and dance. I think some people just go for the free alcohol (haha) but I think the band deserved more attention. I really enjoyed K-note’s performance.

I am really glad there are a lot of Korean stuff around for my husband to go to. He definitely appreciated the music played at this event. The Korean Cultural Office has a movie night on Thursdays as well which is a great way to check out some Korean movies that you might not usually get the chance to see.
