MESSAGE FROM MAYOR PETER B. CARLISLE
I am pleased to send my warmest greetings to everyone attending the 10th annual
Korean Festival, held at the Queen Kapiolani Park and Bandstand.
As one of the original sponsors of this event, the City and County of Honolulu is
delighted to again participate in the popular festival that celebrates Korean culture and heritage,
and offers food, music and dance, cultural displays, crafts, and activities for the entire family.
More than 40,000 residents and visitors attend this colorful gathering each year, where
diverse groups of people from various parts of the world come together, strengthening the bond
of friendship and understanding with members of the Korean community. Americans of Korean
ancestry, whose forefathers arrived in Hawaii more than a hundred years ago, have contributed
significantly to the growth and economic stability of our state.
Mahalo to Gina Kim Nakamura, President of the Hawaii Korean Chamber of Commerce,
and the dedicated officers and board of directors of this venerable organization. I commend your
excellent work in perpetuating goodwill among the Korean community here and abroad by
providing scholarships for deserving Korean students, supporting business-friendly legislation
and regulatory matters, and assisting seniors and recent immigrants with quality of life issues.
On behalf of the people of the City and County of Honolulu, I extend best wishes for
another memorable event.

Congratulatory Message from Consul General Young-Kil, SUH
Aloha!
First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the President Gina Kim Nakamura of
the Hawaii Korean Chamber of Commerce, all other Korean communities and numerous volunteers
for your tremendous efforts and enthusiasm dedicated to this wonderful festival. Also, as Consul

Starting in 2002, the Korean Festival has not only served as a great venue for the people of Hawaii
to become better acquainted with the Korean people and our culture, but also greatly contributed
in many intangible ways to improving Korea’s national images in Hawaii, thereby strengthening
already strong cultural ties between Korea and Hawaii, as well as Korea and the United States. In fact,
the current Korea–US partnership is stronger than ever, prospering in every field, and the Korea–US
Free Trade Agreement to be ratified within this year will provide another good momentum for our
bilateral cooperative ties to expand further into the future.
.

I sincerely hope today you will be able to see and appreciate the different styles and merits of Korean
cultures, and enjoy what they can offer. And I also wish the Korean Festival will continue to prosper,
providing an opportunity for Korean culture to spread across every field, while providing many
Korean Americans with a source of national pride for our own cultural heritage. Mahalo.

RECIPE
TITLE
KALBI CHIM
(KOREAN BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS)
Recipe provided by Waikiki Resort Hotel
Kalbi Chim is a favorite comfort food for Koreans. Beef
short ribs are slowly simmered in a sweet-salty broth until
they are practically falling off the bone. Vegetables and
sometimes chestnuts enrich the mix and provide a
satisfying meal for a cold winter day.
Ingredients
• 2 pounds of beef short ribs, bone-in, 1-inch thick,
trim excess fat
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 pear, peeled, cored and chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 cups water
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1-1/2 cups potatoes or daikon, peeled & chopped
• 10 chestnuts, peeled (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
• Add the ribs to a large pot and add cold water to cover.
Set aside to soak for about 1 hour. Drain the ribs,
discarding the water. This step helps remove blood from
the ribs that could cloud the sauce.
• Add the onion, garlic, pear (if using), sugar, 3 cups
water, soy sauce and sesame oil to the pot with the ribs.
Bring to a boil over medium-high flame, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered,
for another 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Skim accumulated fat off the top
occasionally, and add water as necessary to keep the braising liquid from reducing too much.
• Add the carrots, potatoes or daikon and chestnuts if using and simmer for another 20 to 30
minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked through.
• Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and serve over steamed rice.
Variations
• For your short ribs, you can use either a thick (about 2 inches) English cut or a thin (1/2 inch)
flanken cut. Substitute pork spare ribs (dweji galbi) if you like.
• Asian pears are usually used to add a fruity sweetness to the sauce, but you can substitute a firm
Bosc or d‘Anjou pear. Or the pear can be eliminated altogether.
• Use mirin instead of sugar for sweetening. Use about 1/4 cup, or to your taste.
• Experiment with different vegetables: shiitakes, ginko nuts, cabbage.
• Garnish individual portions with toasted pine nuts or sesame seeds.

comes across children playing ball
barefoot. He thinks he can make
some quick money by selling them soccer shoes. Sadly, the children
cannot afford shoes or jerseys, and he finds himself teaching them how to

HKCC HONORS DONALD BUM SIK KANG: ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR
Donald Bum Sik Kang
The Hawaii Korean Chamber
of Commerce is proud to
announce that Donald Bum
Sik Kang is this year’s
Entrepreneur of the Year.
Donald Kang is the President
and Chief Executive Officer
of Pomare, Ltd., a Hawaii
corporation that owns and
operates eight retail outlets
throughout the State of
Hawaii under the trade
names Hilo Hattie and
Island Edge.
Donald Kang has demonstrated excellence and
achievement in business and a passion for giving back
unselfishly. His hands-on leadership and commitment in
everything he does, speaks volumes about his character.
His hard work has led him to much success, but through it
all he remains grounded and eager to improve the
community.
In 2006, Mr. Kang became a founding director of Ohana
Pacific Bank, a Hawaii chartered commercial bank. Shortly
thereafter in 2009 Donald Kang purchased Hilo Hattie's
parent company, Pomare, Ltd, and in doing so saved one
of Hawaii's most influential brands from bankruptcy.
Chamber of Commerce member Daniel Pyun
acknowledges the award recipient’s leadership. He says,
“Donald Kang is an actualizer. He makes things happen.
The results of his leadership is manifested throughout our
community.”
Mr. Kang immigrated to the United States from Korea in
1980, and he has lived in Hawaii since 1982. He has been
the recipient of several awards including the Wall Street
Journal Business Leadership Award in 2001 and 2003, the
Minority Businessman of the Year Award (SBA, West
Region Manufacturer) in 1998, and the Minority
Businessman of the Year Award from the State of Hawaii
in 1997. He is also a dedicated husband and father. His
wife Jennie and two children, Howard and
Edward, live in Honolulu.
The Hawaii Korean Chamber of Commerce initiated the
Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1997. Eligible nominees
must have conducted business for at least three years, be at
least 50% Korean ethnicity, and their company must
demonstrate a pattern of business and employee growth
under the nominee's direction and leadership. Nominees
must also be active in community projects and organizations.
WWW.NANHAWAII.COM
“I am humbled to receive the Entrepreneur of
the Year Award by the Hawaii Korean
Chamber of Commerce” says Mr. Kang. “This
award is very special to me because it
represents recognition from my peers, who
understand the work ethic of our shared
ancestral background.”
The Hawaii Korean Chamber of Commerce
proudly salutes 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year,
Donald Kang for his leadership and excellence
in business.
Q. How would you describe your company?
Hilo Hattie is a vertically-integrated company
that provides all things Hawaiian and epitomizes
the Hawaii brand. We provide a 'one-stop'
shopping and gift-giving solution by providing a
vast array of products.
Q. What motivated you to start your own business?
It would be pretty safe to say that all parents want
to provide a secure and wholesome life for their
children. With that said, while I was working in
the International Market Place I got to observe
tourists on vacation. It was there I set my goals to
eventually own Hilo Hattie. The process was not
easy, but hard work and determination over the
years finally rewarded me in achieving my goals.

Tommy Sunwoo Bae
High School:
Punahou School
Career Goal:
Oral Surgeon
College Attending:
Creighton University
Upfront: Tommy Bae
acknowledges that part of the
value of an education is being able
to pay it forward. He is excited to
complete dental school, but giving
back to the community is equally
important to him. He has
volunteered for several non-profit
organizations such as Kapiolani
Medical Hospital's HUGS and,
“sees education as an opportunity
to do bigger things in life.”
Q. If you could travel to any place
in the world where would it be?
Why?
Spain. I have an interest in Spanish
language, and I have always wanted
to travel to Spain and immerse
myself in the culture.
Q. What is your favorite book and why?
“A Rose for the Crown;” I remember reading this book during my
freshman year in high school and being captivated by the rich
description of the characters and settings. The author, through her
meticulous word choice and detailed descriptions, allowed me to
visualize the story in my head and instill in me a sense of
excitement when reading. Along with the author’s eloquent style of
writing, I also remember being fascinated with the historical
contents of the novel and learning about England’s War of Roses.
Q. Who is the single most influential person in your life and why?
My mom. She has always given me the strength to overcome any
challenges and has been a positive role model in my life. With her
willing attitude to sacrifice anything for me, I cannot thank her
enough for the support she has given me. It has been through her
encouraging words and love that I am able to stand where I am
today.
Upfront: With a knack for the sciences
complimented by creativity in the arts,
Grace Kim’s well-roundedness will propel
her into her quest to become a physician.
With her medical degree, Kim hopes to
address the specific health risks most
predominant among Korean-Americans.
She says, “After several years of postsecondary education and medical school, I
plan to return to Hawaii and serve my
community.”
Q. If you could travel to any place in the
world where would it be? Why?
If I could travel to any place in the world, I
would like to travel to Japan because I have
never been there before. I would also like to go
to Japan because of the people who were hurt
from the tsunami. I would volunteer my time
to help those who suffered from the tsunami.

Q. What is your favorite book and why?
My favorite book is “The Overachievers: The Secret Lives of Driven Kids,”
by Alexandra Robbins, because the book exposed me to another perspective
on school, college, and “overachieverism.” Robbins followed a group of
overachiever high school students in order to expose to the world about
their secret life of stress and pressure. Robbins doesn't limit herself in this
book; she goes beyond just telling a story. She also gives the reader facts
relevant to students, parents, and teachers. She writes about the truth of
college admissions, ivy league schools, “helicopter parents,” and more. This
book really changed my perspective and life.
Q. Who is the single most influential person in your life and why?
The most influential person in my life would have to be my mom. She
works really hard at work and at home. She always thinks of family before
herself. She was never a selfish person and I admire her for that. I admire
my mom because she went through a lot in her life. Her strength in
overcoming adversities makes me want to work even harder to have a
better future.

miss my relatives, especially my sweet grandparents.
Q. Explain your career goal and why it is you aspire to it?
My lifelong dream has been to directly impact children
living in third-world countries with proper medical
treatment and words of encouragement. I want to heal
their pains and offer my services to those who cannot
afford treatment; I want to encourage them to have hope
for the future.
Q. Who is the single most influential person in your life and
why?
I would say my mom because despite all difficulties, she
never complains about having to support me,
encourages me to have a thankful heart and faces life
with a positive outlook. Not only is she always there for
me, she gives me the motivation to do well in school.
ARTIST: SANG LEE
TITLE
From Carpenter to Artist, Sang Ryun Lee fulfills his Dream and turns his Creativity into Korea-Inspired Artwork and Poetry
As a 27-year old who barely spoke
English, Sang Ryun Lee followed his
older brother to Hawaii in 1980. Three
months later, Mr. Lee moved to Chicago
to make a living and to develop his selftaught skills of carpentry. By day, he
worked as a carpenter, and at night he
pursued his passion - watercolor art,
calligraphy, and poetry inspired by his
Korean homeland. He returned to
Hawaii in 1987 eventually opening his
own company, Lee Sang Builders, which
grew to a successful business that built
and remodeled over 100 Oahu homes.
dedicate himself completely
to his art and that in the last
ten years, he has created over
170 paintings, 400 fans, and
60 calligraphy pieces.
Mr. Lee will showcase his art
to the Korean and local
community at the 10th
annual Korean Festival, July
9, at Kapiolani Park and
Bandstand. There he will sell
his fans, and also paint
throughout the day.

Timothy (25), daughter
Cynthia (16) and Mr. Lee
Even as an accomplished businessman,
Mr. Lee turned to his passion of art for inspiration in his
work. He specialized in the art of faux finish using art
techniques to create decorative images, replicating textures such as
wood, stone and marble. Using this art technique, he helped his clients
achieve the look they wanted for their home within an affordable
budget. Earlier this year, Mr. Lee made the decision to dedicate his
energy full-time to his artwork, calligraphy, and poetry under the name
of Song Chun.
In his first public art exhibition on May 25 at the Ala Moana Hotel,
Mr. Lee also unveiled his second published book featuring his poetry
and artwork. Says son Timothy, “Dad selected May 25th for this
exhibition to dedicate it to my grandfather Gan Young Lee, who was a
well-known and respected Korean calligraphist who taught him all that
he knew. It is Dad’s dream to open his Eastern Gallery in Honolulu
where he can make his artwork available to the local and Korean
community and to also teach calligraphy and art to adults and youth.”
Using inspiration from his native Korean homeland and also his
adopted home of Hawaii, Mr. Lee paints using watercolor on a special
Korean paper hwasunji which he brings in from Korea. On his art, he
includes his beautiful poetry describing the scene and his feelings
written in hanmun (Korean name for Chinese characters). An artist all
over, Mr. Lee builds his own custom frames for his art using Hawaii
oakwood. He says that he has been waiting for this day when he can

Going
Carrying my backpack I am going
Going
Without shedding a tear I am going
There is hope over on the other end
With eyes wide open and senses aware on this journey
Until I exhaust my body I will go
If I go now when will I ever return
Without even turning around when will I ever come back
Yet with a bright face I will return
To a land where I am not envious of anyone
Hanging onto my heart with hope I am going on this journey
Live in a place where names are unknown
From job to job, living from place to place
Live among people whose names are unknown
Live to learn as I speak
With the mind set of being born again, I will exhaust my body and I will go
