32 U.S. Army Soldiers and Korean Augmentation To the U.S. Army (KATUSA) Soldiers assigned to 210th Field Artillery Brigade participated in a newcomer’s orientation and cultural awareness tour of Seoul, South Korea, Oct. 24.

The Gyeonggi Government Office introduced parts of Korean culture to the group and expressed their appreciation for military service members currently serving in South Korea.

The tour included a trip to The War Memorial Museum of Korea, Lotte World Tower, and a musical performance by ‘Ensemble Su.’

‘Ensemble Su’ combines Korean traditional instruments such as gayageum and haegeum with Western instruments like the piano, cello, and drum.
