Ms. Le Nguyen Tue Hang said: “The DTU Hospitality and Tourism faculty has welcomed fifty South Korean students here and DTU has already sent forty students there. The student exchange program has provided students from both countries a great opportunity to broaden their knowledge and experience, in preparation for their future careers. We are honored to welcome the Koreans to DTU today and trust that “Korea Week 2019” will provide a friendly and relaxing cultural exchange and forge new friendships between the students from our two countries.”

Choi Su In, an EWHA Women’s University student, said: “I am so happy to visit Danang and make friends with DTU students here. I was surprised that they all speak fluent Korean, so we could communicate with each other easily. What a wonderful event! We learnt more about Vietnam, the language, food, dress and lifestyle and, at the same time, introduced our own culture, customs and etiquette, leaving with unforgettable memories.”
At the close of Korea Week 2019, the twelve finalists in the 2019 KPOP New Year Dance Cover “Be Ur Star” contest staged exciting performances. The Gen Zee Team won first prize, No Mercy and Bo Dak Team both came in second and three thirds were awarded to Twinkling, the Double Shot Team and Make It Shine.
