Seizing this chance, UEF’s Faculty of Languages and International Cultures facilitated Korean Language majors to participate and experience.

The students were accompanied by Ms. Pham Thi Thuy Linh – Deputy Dean, Faculty of Languages and International Cultures, and Korean Language lecturers. Besides UEFers, the festival was attended by a large number of students from other different universities and colleges running Korean curriculum in the Southern region.

At the festival, UEFers revealed their talents in many competitions and activities from to academic to cultural, musical, culinary, and so forth.
