NORAZONORAZO 9pm (Sat)

is a Korean pop/Dance male duo. Mostly known for their comical/eccentric appearance and surprising lyrics, like their 2007 hit "Superman", they are usually covered by Korean idol singers on their concerts. Japanese group DJ OZMA also covered some of their songs. The duo's name sounds similar to the Korean word 놀아줘 (Norajuo), but comes from the Chinese characters 努喇鳥, which mean "A bird that tries hard to blow the horn". It is also meant to say

that they like songs live. They became very famous in Korea for their hit "Superman" and they're often covered at Korean Idol Concerts.

악`을 원하는 팬들이 많이 존재한다는 점에 힘입어 더 칼러스를 전격 결성했다. 여기에는 최근 가요계에 분 이른바 `세시봉 열풍`도 한몫했다.

작곡가와 가수(강인원 민해경), 프로젝트 팀원(강인원 권인하), 친구(강인원 이치현) 등 4명이 남다른 인연을 갖고 있는 점도, 더 칼러스 결성에 호재가 됐다.

er Children’s Hanbok Contst 1:30pm (Sat)

Hanbok (South Korea) or Chosŏn-ot (North Korea) is the traditional Korean dress. It is often characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means "Korean clothing", hanbok today often refers specifically to hanbok of Joseon Dynasty and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. The modern hanbok does not exactly follow the actual style as worn in Joseon dynasty since it went through some major changes during the 20th century for practical reasons.
