SEMINAR “FROM HANGEUL TO OPPORTUNITIES” – HSU STUDENTS EXPLORE CAREER POTENTIAL IN KOREAN STUDIES

On the morning of April 11, the Seminar “Korean Language Training Roadmap and Career Orientation: From Hangeul to Opportunities” at Hoa Sen University attracted a large number of university and high school students. The event not only provided a multi-dimensional view of the potential of the language from the Land of Kimchi but also created a unique space to experience Korean culture, helping pupils and students approach the language and culture in a vivid and relatable way.

The program was organized by the Korean Language Program under the Faculty of Languages and Psychology in collaboration with Keduall Educational Organization. The event featured Dr. Lee Yu In, a Korean Language and Culture expert with over 10 years of teaching experience at Korean universities. She is also a former scriptwriter for major television networks such as KBS, MBC, and SBS, and has participated in many international programs, contributing to teaching and spreading Korean culture in Vietnam.

At the seminar, the speaker delivered practical and relatable content, starting by pointing out interesting cultural similarities between Vietnam and Korea in daily life, helping learners approach Korean naturally and with full inspiration. Meanwhile, the Hallyu wave and the influence of K-pop were highlighted as an important “lever” to spread the Korean language globally. Next, the speaker went deep into decoding the Hangeul writing system with its scientific and logical structure based on the philosophy of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. This was combined with interactive activities such as singing the “Ka na ta ra” alphabet song, practicing writing names, and combining letters, helping attendees approach the language visually and effectively. In addition, insights shared about career opportunities in the context of growing Vietnam – Korea cooperation opened up many directions for learners, as Korean becomes a competitive advantage in multinational corporations and various fields such as commerce, tourism, beauty, entrepreneurship, and content creation.

Particularly, participants felt Korean culture more deeply and vividly through experiencing the Hanbok traditional costume and the traditional knotting art (Maedeup), where they manually created lucky knots and felt the cleverness and meticulousness of Korean handicrafts.

In the context of Korea’s increasing investment in Vietnam and the continuous expansion of Korean enterprises, there is a growing demand for human resources who are both proficient in Korean and deeply understand the culture of the Land of Kimchi. Mastering Korean today will create an outstanding advantage for students in the labor market. This is the time for pupils and students to proactively seize opportunities and clearly define their development paths. The Korean Language Program at Hoa Sen University will serve as a solid launchpad, equipping you with knowledge, skills, and an integrative mindset to confidently conquer highly potential career opportunities in the future.
