Korean Superstars

I was shopping at this Korean Food shop with my mum and trying to see if I could remember how to say some of those Korean characters (several months ago I thought I would try learn some Korean...when you can't beat them join them!) when we thought we would pick up a few Korean newspapers and guess who was in four different Korean newspapers: The Sunday Times, The Newstoon,  The Korea Herald and another newspaper with a Korean name (OK so I was informed prior to visiting the shop)...Hyun and Joon about them winning their scholarship!

Here is the article:

오클랜드 한국학교(교장 계춘숙)가 당초 계획보다 2명이 더 늘어난 5명의 장학생을 선발했다. '비전 2020'의 일환으로 실시하고 있는 장학생 선발은 작년에 이어 올해 두번째로 1차 서류 심사와 2차 면접 등 엄격한 심사를 거쳐 결정됐다. 한국학교측은 "작년에도 그랬지만 올해는 특히 우수 학생들이 대거 몰리는 바람에 5명으로 늘려 선발하게 됐다"고 밝혔다. 선발된 학생은 독고이랑(오클랜드 대학교 1학년), 김지현(Rangitoto College F7), 오현석(Rutherford College F6), 오준석(Rutherford College F6), 신종하(King's College F5) 학생 등이다. 한재관 장학생선발위원장은 "장학생으로 지원한 학생 모두 뛰어난 학업 성적과 다방면에 걸친 재능과 봉사정신을 발휘하고 있어 우열을 가리기가 매우 힘들었다"고 심사 소감을 밝혔다. 계춘숙 교장은 "3~4세때 이민을 왔음에도 불구하고 유치부부터 중등학년까지 꾸준하게 한국학교를 다닌 결과 정확한 발음으로 한국어를 구사하는 것은 물론 현지 학교에서도 우수한 성적을 거두고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다"면서 "이는 학생과 학부모들의 성실성과 적극성이 밑받침됐기 때문에 가능한 결과"라고 말했다. 우준기 BOT 의장은 매년 훌륭한 한국 학생들을 격려하고 지원하기 위해 앞으로 장학제도를 더욱 발전시키는데 최선을 다하겠다고 밝혔다. 한편 선발된 학생들은 어렸을 때 부모님의 권유로 억지로 학교를 다녔지만 지금 와서는 이중언어의 필요성과 중요성을 깨닫고 있으며 부모님께 감사드린다고 말했다고 학교측은 전했다. 장학금 수여식은 15일 오전 10시 30분 북부캠퍼스 강당(Sunnybrae Normal School-36 Sunnybrae Rd. Takapuna)에서 열린다. (사진 왼쪽부터)독고이랑, 신종하, 오현석, 오준석, 김지현 학생
