Mark your calendar: Saturday is "See, Taste and Listen," the sixth annual Korean Festival.

Started in January 2002 in preparation for the 2003 Korean Centennial, the Korean festival's attendance has grown every year, and so have the entertainment and food selection.

Last year, because of inclement weather and schedule conflicts in January, the Hawaii Korean Chamber of Commerce decided to move the festival to July, when the weather is more predictable. Sure enough, last year's festival was blessed with sunshine all day. This year promises to be better than ever with appearances by hallyu stars.

If you are a veteran Korean festival-goer, you know that you can expect great Korean food, cooking lessons, a kim chee-eating contest, cultural entertainment and booths full of Korean products.

Another festival highlight this year will be the singers Wax and Lee Ki Chan. The South Korean stars are scheduled to perform at 5 p.m. at Kapi'olani Park bandstand.

Wax, with six CDs under her belt, is best known for hits such as "Oppa," "Money," "Mother's Diary" and "Favor," one of my favorite songs. She is also a student at Kyung Hee University's School of Postmodern Music.

Lee Ki Chan's most recent hit, "A Beauty," was a No. 1 single and its video, starring Kim Sun Ah ("My Lovely Sam Soon"), won an award for best music video. Lee Ki Chan is a talented artist who also writes music and plays the piano and flute. He has appeared in dramas and movies. He is also a student at Kyung Hee University, studying performing arts.

The Korean Festival, organized by the Hawaii Korean Chamber of Commerce along with dozens of businesses and hundreds of volunteers, promotes Korean culture in the community and supports service projects and ventures that benefit the Korean and larger community in Hawai'i.

There are five ways you can get involved and help: attend the festival, become a volunteer, become a sponsor, run a booth or simply make a donation.
