"We used this event to showcase Korean traditions and showcase Asian American traditions," said Education junior Vivian Han, president of KASA.

The highlight of the night was the performance of the BJH Dance Group from South Korea, said Han.

Han added that KASA was "extremely lucky" in getting the BJH Dance Group, as the group was already in the United States.

"A man told us they were coming for Skokie Festival of Cultures, and they wanted to get as much stage time as possible, since it's their first time in America," Han said.

Although Han said she feels the show improved from last year, she said KASA's main goal is to better provide for the performers.

SAFB denied the Korean American Students Association its entire $22,016 request because it hasn't held its main event, which SAFB would use to gauge its funding recommendation, said KASA President Vivian Han.SAFB members told her to apply for supplemental funding in the fall instead.

"To receive a budget cut is one thing, but to not receive anything at all -- it just kind of feels like they're not giving KASA any credit," said Han, explaining that the group's cultural show had high turnouts in the past.
