SisterCityYongin 

Yongin is located in the Gyeonggi Province of South Korea, approximately 20 miles south of Seoul. A city where the past meets the future, Yongin is famous for its recreation of a traditional Korean village where life is as it was from approximately 1400 to 1900. Yongin is also the home for Everland, South Korea's largest theme park, and numerous resorts for swimming, sledding and hiking in the nearby mountains. Fullerton's newest Sister City is filled with cultural events year-round, something for each and every season.

Fullerton’s third sister city, the relationship was founded in 2004. A black pine joined the Friendship Trees outside City Hall.  A group of FSCA members and Fullerton City officials traveled to South Korea to participate in the signing festivities commemorating the new relationship. 

Sam-go Mu — “Tree Stand Drum Dance” or “Three Drum Dance”

The performers of Sam-go Mu, a traditional Korean performance, are both drummers and dancers, combining rhythmic dexterity with acrobatic movement. The dance begins with a dramatic rolling of drumsticks around the ridges of the drum's circumference, gradually building to a crescendo. The elegant and gentle movements of the female dancers express the blessing and great joy from the earth.
