And this year, the club members won the first prize in K-pop dance at the Korean Language and Culture Festival in Central Vietnam. The club offers 2 performances, including: singing Good Parts, Antifragile dancing and singing If it is you, How you like that dance - Preety Savage. Friend Ha Phuong - K26NHB4 - club leader shared: "Because their study schedule is quite busy, the group has only practiced together for about 1 week. But with teamwork, we worked hard to perform our best in the competition at this year's Festival. In this activity, the club has also created conditions for new students to participate and some of them can stand on stage for the first time."
The K-pop club was born at the same time as the establishment of the Faculty of Korean in 2020. With the attraction of K-pop and Korean culture, many students in many different faculties in the school have applied to become members of the club. Currently, the club has 32 members participating in activities.
In the Speaking section, Vuong Thi Thu Ha - K28 NAB5 took home the third prize in Speaking at Beginner level. This is a very proud achievement for students who have just completed the first-year program, which shows that the program and training methods of the Faculty of Korean in particular and the school in general have reached out to students. Thu Ha said: "With the theme of the program given as "Getting Started", I decided to choose the presentation content about the beginning of my Korean pursuit. This has been a great experience for me. Participating in the festival, I learned a lot of interesting and new things. I am very thankful to the faculty and the school for allowing us to participate in events like this. Hopefully, in the coming time, students will have more attractive playgrounds."
