Thuy Linh shared: "I feel very lucky and grateful for the opportunity to participate and win the Bronze Medal in this competition. I know I still have many shortcomings and need to learn more, but I wanted to participate to challenge myself, gain experience, and perhaps have the chance to apply what I've learned in practice. This is my first time participating in a competition, but during my studies, I have been involved in exchanges with teachers, schools, and Korean students, and I also have many Korean friends. I believe these experiences helped me a lot in this competition."

With her speech on the topic "The Gyeongsangbuk-do City I Want to Visit," Thùy Linh confidently gave her best performance before the judges. Her presentation was highly praised, earning her the Bronze Medal in the final.
