Students from Pastor James’ youth group at the Oriental Mission Church on Western Avenue say grace before having lunch at the Koreatown Plaza food court. Most of the group said they felt it was hard to find things for them to do in Koreatown, describing a distinction between the culture they know through the OMC and the culture of “K-towners”. “Pretty much the only thing to do in Koreatown is drink, and since we can’t do that, we go to karaoke bars. We don’t drink there, but we just sing. There’s a lot of pool halls with billiards. there’s a lot of dessert places. I think Koreatown is really well known for their deserts, ice-cream, and boba. None of us are really K-towners. I don’t want to be messed up or anything, but they’re not the same as us. They’re kind of ghetto. They kind of look like skaters, but they wear really skinny jeans, Nike shoes, a backwards hat kind of look. A lot of them smoke.”
