A gospel counselor,  Mrs Patience Berepele, has emerged winner of  the first edition of ‘Hansik'(Korean food) competition held in Abuja, carting home the N1 million cash prize. It was organised by the Korea cultural Centre in Nigeria (KCCN) and had nine finalists with Berepele, emerging as winner. Berepele, who is also a minister of the gospel, after winning said words were not sufficient for her to express her happiness on coming top.

 The winner appreciated KCCN for giving Nigerians the opportunity to participate in the contest.  For Victor Mac-Adonai, an engineering graduate who came second in the contest, the competition offered him an opportunity to prove his ability. He said he took inspiration from Auguste Gusteau, who he considered to be the greatest chef in the world whose words were: ‘Anyone can cook’. Mr Yahya Bindir, a software developer, who came third, said he was extremely excited to have gone this far in the different rounds of the competition. Director KCCN, Mr. Kim Changki commenting on the competition said that KCCN coming up with Hansik (Korean food) programme for Nigerians was awesome, adding that the initiative had made them to know about Korean food culture.

He noted that the initiative had brought synergy between Nigerians and Koreans in many aspects, especially in their food culture.
