[YEG] Heritage Days 2013 - Korean Pavillion Review

I'd like to first say that it was a pleasure to work with the Edmonton Korean Community Center/Edmonton Korean Canadian Association at the Korean Pavilion for a 2nd time!

All the performances including the kpop dance group Convergence and the Samulnori (사물놀이) Drum team were awesome! Gangnam Style may be soo 2012 but it hasn't died yet! Psy really showed how Gentleman gained popularity.
Apparently there was a new judge who as absent in ranking Korea's performance but it was all wonderful regardless. They could have taken 2nd again like last year or maybe even have beaten China who've been ranked 1st for performances multiple times. Rankings for performances are rated by how much audience there is present watching.
