The President and First Lady also heard diverse and vivid stories from students, such as a high school student who wants to study abroad in Korea to become an artificial intelligence developer, a Korean language major who dreams of becoming an interpreter. Or the story of an employee working in an IT company who was accepted into the Korean Government Scholarship program this year. There was also the story of a young person who studied Korean at King Sejong Institute, then went to work for a Korean company.

Cao Quyet Thang, a second-year student of the Korean Language Department at Hanoi National University, shared that Korean has given him the dream of studying abroad in Korea and becoming an interpreter in the future. All of this shows the popularity of Korean in Vietnam.

After listening to the sharing, the wife of the President of the Republic of Korea, Kim Keon-hee, said that she highly appreciated the ability of Vietnamese students to use Korean. "Not only are they good at Korean, but the feelings and content shared are similar to those of Korean people, so I feel very close," Ms. Kim Keon-hee expressed.
