A 10-day Korean festival is coming to Dubai this September

Craving tteokbokki with a side of BLACKPINK? Well, you might just be in luck. Dubai is hosting a 10-day K-Fest from September 25 to October 4, celebrating the rich culture of South Korea. Whether you’re a veteran K-culture enthusiast or just getting started on the country’s cuisines, entertainment and beauty, there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy. A post shared by Platinumlist (@platinumlistuae) The newest launch of the festival is organised by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, which aims at highlighting Korean brands, businesses and talents. So this just might be your sign to get a head start on drawing up a list of all of the things you’d want to eat and buy. Because, if you’re anything like us, then this fest might have your list looking very (VERY) long. Now, the entertainment part of the festival is still under wraps, so if you’re expecting to catch a glimpse of the Enhypen or Stray Kids stars, then you will just have to wait for the grand revelation. But they’ve dropped hints on the fact that something exciting is brewing. We’ll be keeping our eye on the announcements. Dubai isn’t new to the Korean scene, though. Home to many authentic global cuisines, Dubai has a variety of selection when it comes to Korean restaurants – from right off the grill Korean BBQ to brothy ramyeon and even instant Buldak. The emirate is always a buzzing scene at its cuisine front. Besides cuisines, we are also treated to some of the best Korean skincare and makeup options that give us the ‘no salon’ effortless glow. And the K-fest is just the ultimate round-up of all of favourite K-culture things. The full programme and participating locations will soon be revealed, so stay tuned.
