When the coronavirus looked like it was going to be serious, a bunch of the BeRyong families came together over a couple of weekends to clean and sanitize the studio.

Why would we give up a Saturday afternoon to do this? Because for many of us, the studio is home. My husband jokes that if I’m not at home or at work, I’m at the studio, and that’s pretty much the case.

The studio is large and has a zillion nooks and crannies that needed to be cleaned. Master Yun wasn’t going to be able to do it all himself, so a bunch of us decided to pitch in. So many people answered the call that the whole studio was sparkling in less than two hours. And isn’t anything better with 80s music, some of your best buddies, and beer?

Many thanks to the students who came out on March 8 and March 15.
