Korean Culture Club The Korean Culture Club aims to educate and immerse Montevallo students in the customs, language and ideas of South Korea. We will focus on food and popular culture in order to emphasize the idea that North American life is not supremely different from North Korea’s. We want Montevallo to learn that Korea is not significant just because of a war.
