(Clearwisdom.net) The area known as Korea Town in Los Angeles is well known for its large population of Korean immigrants. To share the beauty of Falun Dafa with people residing in Korea Town, Falun Dafa practitioners from Los Angeles formally set up a practice site there on April, 2004. On May 1, they held the first Falun Dafa introductory workshop in the Korean language in the Pio Pico Korea Town Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library.

Practitioners carefully prepared different kinds of banners and information packets in Korean and actively contacted local Korean media outlets. Radio Seoul, Radio Korea and Korean Daily Times all broadcasted or published advertisements for the workshop.
On May 1, about 25-30 Korean residents came to attend the workshop. Apart from watching the introductory films, attendees actively asked questions. They also learned the five-sets of Falun Dafa exercises. Many people expressed their wish of joining the morning exercises at the Korea Town practice site. Practitioners prepared the new Korean version of Zhuan Falun (the main book of Falun Gong) and presented it as a gift to each Korean resident who attended the workshop. Practitioners sincerely hoped that more and more people will step onto the path of cultivating "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance".
