The Korean Cultural Centre in South Africa held a graduation ceremony for the 22 students of the first semester of the King Sejong Language Institute on Wednesday, 13 July 2022. On this day, students held a Korean speech contest to show off their Korean skills, experienced making Korean food and ended the semester by watching a few students' K-pop dance performances.

The theme for the Korean food experience in the cooking studio was Japchae, and the students made the japchae by following the intructions of the cooking class teacher. Each of them tasted the japchae they made and admired the taste, saying they were so delicious that they wanted to make them for their family and friends. Afterwards, they went to the auditorium and presented ‘What the future self would be like’, and a few of the students had a great time performing K-pop dance. Small gifts were rewarded to the participating teams through the awards ceremony.

Professor Hye-jin Shim of the King Sejong Institute gave words of encouragement to the students, and the students presented flowers and various gifts to Professor Hye-jin Shim to show appreciation for the enjoyable Korean class.

Finally, to the students who finished the semester, Professor Shim Hye-jin presented a Certificate and the graduation ceremony came to a successful end.
