🌊 ANNOUNCING GYOPO’S 2026 CHUSEOK BENEFIT AND HONOREE, EJAE 🌊

GYOPO is proud to announce our 8th Annual Chuseok Benefit, presented by CJ (@cjent_usa), is on September 27th, honoring award winning singer and songwriter EJAE (@ejae_k). This event is hosted by GYOPO Vice Board Chair Ann Soh Woods (@annsohwoods).

EJAE is best known as the singing voice of Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters, as well as the songwriter and performer of Golden. Before the film’s record-breaking run, her artistry had already reached millions through her work as a songwriter and vocal director for artists such as aespa, LE SSERAFIM, and TWICE. We are so honored to celebrate EJAE at this year’s benefit. 💙

Every year, our Chuseok benefit brings together our multifaceted community under the harvest moon to celebrate the impact the Korean diaspora has on art and culture around the globe.

This is GYOPO’s largest and most important fundraising event of the year. All proceeds directly support our free, year-round public programming and our mission to foster intersectional discourse among diasporic Korean and Asian cultural producers. We are grateful to our generous donors and sponsors. If you’re interested in opportunities to give, head to the link in bio.

This season is dedicated to RITUALS—an exploration of the sacred, repetitive, and deeply tactile habits that form around the San Francisco table.

In 1976, Alanna Heiss transformed an abandoned Queens schoolhouse into a place where artists could experiment freely. PS1 opened with “Rooms,” as much an exhibition as an artist takeover. Our building has belonged to daring artists ever since.

For our 50th Anniversary Gala, we gathered to honor Alanna and also Glenn D. Lowry, two individuals who shaped our history by bringing MoMA and PS1 together in 2000, the year Greater New York launched. None other than Laurie Anderson and Ralph Lemon introduced our honorees, and we were excited to celebrate alongside other daring artists, former staff, longtime supporters, over five decades of collaborators. In a setting featuring iconic posters from our history, executive chef @devonnfrancis created a wonderful meal before our big birthday celebration ended as it should: with cake.

Special thanks to our sponsors @robertmondavi @suntoryglobal @acquapannausa @sanpellegrino_us @maisonperrierusa @essentiawater @brooklynbrewery

Meet the CULT100 Champions.

Not everyone changes culture from center stage. This cohort works behind the scenes, challenging systems from within to ensure that others can devote themselves to the work they’re meant to do. Their contributions foster a culture that is more accessible, just, and reflective of the world we live in.

Link in bio to get to know them all and discover the full 2026
CULT100 list today.

// The 100 individuals on CULTURED’s third annual CULT100 list span disciplines and generations. Some are household names, others operate behind the scenes. All of them are choosing risk over reward, curiosity over cynicism, and are shaping culture in real time. Each offers something that the algorithm never will. //
