[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Honam University has stepped up to support international students with K-POP.

The International Exchange Office of Honam University (Director Son Wani) announced on the 11th that it held a music album sharing event for international students.

The event, held on the 10th at the International Exchange Office, distributed the latest albums of popular Korean idol stars such as BTS, IU, BLACKPINK, TWICE, Kang Daniel, and 2PM on a first-come, first-served basis to about 200 students from China, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, and other countries to help them enjoy the remaining vacation well.

Son Wani, Director of the International Exchange Office, said, “Due to the spread of COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines, online classes have been conducted and various on- and off-campus events have been canceled. We wanted to send a positive message of support to international students even in a non-face-to-face environment.”

He added, “Many foreign students who came to study in Korea are interested in the Korean language and culture due to the influence of K-POP. I hope they continue their successful study abroad life by diligently learning the language and culture through K-POP or Korean dramas.”
