The number of foreigners learning Korean is increasing due to their interest in Korea, which started in K-pop or dramas.

I met foreign students who are learning Korean with various opportunities and dreams.

I'm reporter Koo Hyun-hee of Ulsan Central Broadcasting Station.

A university lecture room in Ulsan.

Students take turns presenting each country's food as a theme.The term

"Izakaya" comes from the combination of the Japanese word 'I' meaning 'I have' and 'Sakaya' meaning 'bar'."

"Now, pho is not only a traditional dish, but also a symbol of Vietnamese culture."

Those who introduce their country's food and food culture in fluent Korean are international students who came to learn Korean.

Most of them have been learning Korean for about a year.Curiosity about Korean culture, such as

K-pop and dramas, led to the study of Korean language.

[Rio / Japanese student: I came to Korea because I became interested in Korean food and culture and wanted to learn the language.]

It was not easy to learn a completely different language, but as I learned, I also learned the scientific excellence of Hangul.

[Misa / Japanese student: There are only Korean letters in Korea. Letters. So vowels and consonants can be combined like a puzzle, so I think letters are easy to memorize.]

I like Korean culture and friends, so I'm even thinking of settling in Korea.

[Hidakayu / Japanese International Student: When I was in Japan, I thought Korean people were a little scary, but when I came to Korea, there were so many nice people..]

In Vietnam, there is a craze for learning Korean.For a Vietnamese girl who wants to go back to her hometown

and teach Korean, Korean is a dream.

[Wentijian / Vietnamese student: Especially in Vietnam, it's very popular for people to study Korean. I want to do Korean language education. I want to be a Korean teacher.]

A late college freshman from the other side of the world aims to translate books in Korean into his native language.

[Kunai / Azerbaijan International Student: I'm reading a novel or children's book in Korea. I think this is how you educate children when they are young. So I want to give this experience to children in our country as well.]

More and more people are trying to learn Korean because they like Korean culture and Korea.

"Korea is good."
