Korean Traditional Culture EAGLE'S Experience and Field Trip CLUB for USFK members
by Chung, Jongsoon Korea Culture News
The Korean Traditional Culture Experience and Field Trip Program sponsored by Eagle's Club (President Baek Jeong- ki) successfully took place on November 11th. Soldiers from Osan base who are 51FS Air Force and their family members have participated in the program. They visited the temple 'Chiljangsa', Cheonghakdae Mu- seum and Namsadang Baudugi performance. The temple Chiljangsa was found by Jajang Yulsa during the reign of Queen Seonduk, then was developed by Hye- soguksa during the reign of King Hyeonjong. This is the place where the annals of Korean dynasty was located to avoid from Japanese invasion. Soldiers and family members stopped by the Cheonghwa Museum & Cafe next to Guemkwang Lake and looked around the sculptures dis- played on the lawn of of sculpture park. They also enjoyed watching the performance of Anseong Namsadang Baudugi. Soldiers and family members spent about two hours to watch the performance and had an op- portunity to take photos with the team members. President Baek Jeongki said, "We will gradually expand the opportunities for USFK Soldiers to experience the taste and tradition of Korean by activating interaction. It is great to see the soldiers and family members enjoy learning Korean traditional culture and history." Eagle's Club was created as an individual organization since September in 2008 in order to have mutual inter- change with the USFK. In fact, the organization was started as a golf club and it has developed into a group of diverse professionals. Mem- bers of Eagle's Club have seven times of meeting in a year and they have been planning the field trip for USFK Soldiers twice a year.
