Both universities’ Oriental Studies Faculties’ students were competing not only in their Korean language abilities, but also in their knowledge about this country. Two teams were offered to answer questions, which had different levels of difficulty. The questions were about Korea, its culture, traditions, popularity, economics, different migrations and, of course, about its relationships with Kazakhstan. As a home task both teams had to prepare a little play about Korea and show their explanation of the wave “Hallyu”. Therefore, our university team’s members were good prepared to all of the contests parts, showed their huge knowledge about Korea Republic and their art abilities. However, having a big experience in such competitions, the opponent team won the first place. What is more, according to many viewers, big difference in the age caused such a result. We would like to congratulate our team members – Khan Aelita, Kim Valeriya, DautovBaurjan, AltynbaiDidar, SaduakasovaAigerym and NurgakievaNurgul. Taking part in a such wide and great competition is a victory yet. We pay attention to our fans, who were supporting our team during the whole game and organized a big fan-club at the faculty. According to the judges, the contest was lasting on the high level. All the competitors got certificates and prizes. All KazNU’s students thank Almaty Korean Study Centre and Kazakhstan Korean Teen Organization for organizing such a great event!!!
