Thu Phuong Nguyen, who won the King Sejong Institute Writing Contest this year, said in her speech, “Coincidentally enough, I heard about the opening of the Korean Cultural Centre only a few months after I and my family moved to South Africa from Vietnam. While I was attending the language courses at the Centre, I've found my passion and dream of studying the Korean language education for my career.”
