About Us
We're a couple of Korean American highschool student friends who decided to start this NGO, united under one mission: to help Korean Americans, especially the youth, embrace their heritage and further connect with their roots. We do this through our clothing that makes Korean Heritage visible and relevant, and also through full profit donations to the Daehan Heritage School, an ethnic studies program that focuses on instilling the Korean identity in youth by teaching students about Korean-American history.
Our brand is one out of few that make Korean heritage visible and relevant. We wanted to really poster a sense of pride in our culture and heritage, especially to the younger generation.
If you are ready to follow us on our journey to greatness, consider buying a tee or two, and following us on our social media "@hallyuapparel.co".
