Nguyen Thi My Tam (20 years old, from Ha Tinh ) went to Korea as an international student from September 2023. Lunar New Year 2024 is the first Tet Tam is away from her family. Tam and her group of friends want to bring the traditional Tet of the nation to Korea with a photo series of modernized Ao Dai (Photo: Pham Trung Hieu).

"In Korea, there are some establishments that sell and rent ao dai to serve Vietnamese people living and working, so it is easy to prepare outfits for taking photos. However, at this time in Korea, the temperature drops very low, about minus 5 degrees Celsius, wearing ao dai is very cold, so people can only take photos for the shortest time possible," Tam shared (Photo: Pham Trung Hieu).

Tam and his group of friends chose scenes that had many similarities with the space in their hometown such as markets, alleys... to capture the first Tet away from home (Photo: Pham Trung Hieu).

Mr. Pham Trung Hieu - a Nghe An worker in Korea, the author of the above photos - shared: "The weather here is very harsh, it's very cold, but you guys are very serious and coordinated to take beautiful photos. Many passersby stopped to ask when they saw the girls wearing Ao Dai. When they knew this was the traditional costume of Vietnamese women, the Korean guys were quite excited and praised it as beautiful" (Photo: Pham Trung Hieu).

"When I put on the Vietnamese ao dai in a foreign country and was complimented by the locals, I felt very proud. Therefore, even though it was very cold and I was shivering after taking pictures, my friends and I were very happy," Tam shared (Photo: Pham Trung Hieu).

This is the first year My Tam celebrates Tet away from home. The closer Tet gets, the more this female student feels restless, indescribable, and misses home and her parents more (Photo: Pham Trung Hieu).

"Korean friends also celebrate the traditional New Year like Vietnamese people, so homesickness is also much less. We international students are trying to prepare for a Tet away from home full of flavors with banh chung, pork jelly, pickled onions... On New Year's Eve, we will go to the temple to pray for a happy new year, with lots of luck for ourselves and our families," Ms. Tam shared (Photo: Pham Trung Hieu).
