Founded in the spring of 2025, Jeong Art & Culture is a nonprofit organization rooted in a deep love for Korean heritage. Its origins trace back to the Korean Traditional Dance Club at Crean Lutheran High School, established in 2021. From its earliest days, the club actively volunteered in multicultural events throughout Southern California, proudly sharing the richness of Korean traditional culture with the local community.

Over the years, students developed a profound sense of pride in their cultural identity and the role they played in representing it. In 2025, four of these passionate students came together to establish Jeong Art & Culture, with a shared vision of expanding their mission beyond the school setting—to introduce and celebrate the elegance of Korean traditional culture across the United States.

Our organization is committed to showcasing Korea’s cultural beauty through dance, music, visual arts, and the timeless artistry of Hanbok (traditional Korean dress). We actively participate in numerous cultural events in Orange County, including the Irvine Global Village Festival, the Lunar New Year Celebration at the Richard Nixon Foundation, and the Asian Culture Festival at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, among others, since 2022.

What began as student-led volunteer performances has now grown to include talented students from Orange County School of the Arts and beyond. In 2025, our efforts entered a new chapter as we began inviting esteemed Korean traditional artists to the United States to share their craft. A major milestone in this journey is our upcoming collaboration with the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles, co-hosting the “80th Anniversary of Liberation: Korean Master Artists’ Concert” in July 2025. For this meaningful event, we are honored to welcome master performers and cultural bearers from Korea, offering American audiences a rare opportunity to experience the refined beauty of Korean traditional music and arts.

Looking ahead, Jeong Art & Culture is committed to building bridges between generations, cultures, and communities. By creating spaces where Korean cultural masters and American students can come together in artistic collaboration, we hope to continue expanding appreciation for Korean heritage and to keep the spirit of “Jeong”—a uniquely Korean sense of heartfelt connection—alive in everything we do.
