Enjoy the Korean hype at the exciting K-pop, A Snapshot Festival in Leiden

Let yourself get carried away by the energy of K-pop this October!

On Saturday, October 18, Wereldmuseum Leiden is organising K-pop, A Snapshot Festival: a day filled with dance, music, make-up, and workshops to celebrate the opening of the new K-pop photography & fan culture exhibition.

So put on your best outfit, brush up on your dance moves, and get ready to snap some epic shots. 📸

What activities can you expect?

🪩 Dance your heart out: Learn how to dance just like your favourite K-pop stars, join a random play dance, show off your skills in a dance battle, and enjoy a live performance from X-Dreamin’.

🇰🇷 Play games & learn the language: Challenge your friends to a game of ddakji or jegichagi, sing at the top of your lungs in a Korean karaoke room, or learning the basics of the language.

💄 Get a K-beauty transformation: Watch a professional Korean make-up artist as she creates a classic K-beauty look step by step, or get a quick touch-up to look like a K-pop star.

🍚 Taste delicious food: There’s no proper K-pop festival without some delicious Korean snacks to taste.

🤩 And much more, such as guided tours of the K-pop photography exhibition, a workshop on how to wear a hanbok, a Korean market and beauty stand, photo card trading, and a K-pop quiz.

Whether you’re a K-pop fan or are just looking for a unique experience, this event is not to be missed.
