Synopsis:

When a new landlord comes around, Mr. and Mrs. Choi find their dry cleaning business, Happy Cleanersin Flushing, Queens, in jeopardy of closing after 17 years. While they make every effort to save the business, their daughter Hyunny and son Kevin are also at their own tough crossroads of life under the pressure of their parents’ high hopes. Struggling through economic turmoil, cultural clashes, and generational divide, the Choi family realizes that the only way to be stronger is to embrace each other. 

Happy Cleaners is a heartfelt story that celebrates the survival of immigrants, the experiences of the Korean American community, and the value of family.

HAN IN TOWN Opening Reception

Presented in partnership with Flushing Town Hall, HAN IN TOWN (KoreaTown) is a photo series by Janice Chung that focuses on Korean American business owners of Flushing, Queens. While Flushing is now known to be a large hub of multi-ethnic communities, it was once the epicenter for Korean Americans. This project seeks to encapsulate a nostalgic era of Flushing while simultaneously pointing to the future, with the inclusion of 2nd generation business owners alongside their 1st generation counterparts.

Kimjang 2019: Photos

We hosted our first ever Fall Benefit with a special Kimjang led by Hyosun Ro, creator of food blog Korean Bapsang. Who knew how long the process of making traditional kimchi really takes? Hyosun took us through the 2-day process with her expert, detailed instructions. With the 60 heads of cabbages our team prepared the day before, our guests transformed them all into kimchi – communal style – and experienced the true spirit of kimjang which brings people together! Special thank you to Hyosun Ro, Windrose Restaurant NYC, West 32 Soju, and our volunteers for a successful night! Photos: Alan Tan www.alan-tan.com
