Welcome to EAMA 10! 歡迎 (환영합니다)! Myung Gyoon Lee Korean Astronomical Society (KAS), Seoul National University (mglee@astro.snu.ac.kr) The 10th East Asian Meeting on Astronomy, 2016 Sep 26-30, SNU

The Korean Astronomical Society expresses Warm welcome to all participants from East Asia as well as from other countries, Many thanks to the pioneers for EAMA, EACOA and EAO, & Many thanks to the SOC and LOC of EAMA 10.

In the 20th C History of Astronomy There were two big bangs! 1) American bang Mt Wilson and Palomar Observatories 2) European bang ESO

In the 21th C History of Astronomy? I dream and expect another big bang soon: Asian bang?!

Is Asian Bang Realistic? Yes, because of two reasons. First reason: EAMA and Asian astronomy are growing fast! EAMA is a seed and the first step stone for Asian bang! The current paradigm of large scale structure formation models is a hierarchical structure formation scenario based on CDM. It is also for Asian astronomy, but with a growing time scale much shorter than those for old bangs.

Is Asian Bang Realistic? Second reason: we have Big Bang in Korea (2006-)! Young people listening Big Bang Music will be more creative?

Enjoy EAMA 10! Collaboration is a key to Asian Bang! We hope that you enjoy collaboration, astronomical activity & sciences in EAMA 10, and enjoy culture & nature in Seoul. Many thanks for your participation.
