Everything you need to know about K-AFRO, our platform, and our services.
1. What is K-AFRO?
2. Who is behind K-AFRO?
K-AFRO is run by two siblings brought together by their love for Korean culture. Angie (앤지), based in South Korea, is the one who had the vision and handles the business side. Kane (케), her brother, travels frequently to Seoul and takes care of marketing and communication. Together, they built K-AFRO to give African and Afro-American cultures in Korea the platform they deserve
3. What cultures does K-AFRO cover exactly?
African music, food, fashion, and traditions from across the continent, including North African and Maghrebi cultures which are very much part of the African story. Afro-American sounds, style, and energy. The diaspora in all its forms. In South Korea, these worlds often mix and feed each other, so we cover anything that carries that DNA, wherever it comes from.
4. Is K-AFRO only for people from African and Afro-American communities?
Not at all. K-AFRO is for anyone curious about African and Afro-American cultures in South Korea. Whether you are part of the community or simply someone who loves the music, the food, and the energy, you are welcome here.

We only feature places that genuinely connect to African and Afro-American cultures in South Korea. We look for quality, authenticity, and vibe. If it feels right and brings something real to the community, it makes the cut.

No. Every place we feature is chosen because we genuinely think it deserves a spotlight. If a partnership ever exists, we will always be transparent about it. Our credibility comes from our independence and we intend to keep it that way.

We update K-AFRO regularly. Events are added as soon as we hear about them and new spots go live as we discover and verify them. Following us on Instagram is the best way to stay up to date in real time.
9. Do we cover places and events outside of Seoul?
Seoul is where we focus most of our energy, but if something is happening elsewhere in South Korea and it is part of African and Afro-American cultures, we are not going to ignore it. Good things are worth sharing no matter the city.
10. Is it easy to find African and Afro-American dance classes in Seoul?
