I owe my success to the outstanding teachers at UOWCHK who not only provided professional guidance but also offered invaluable life advice. Their unwavering support molded me into a well-rounded individual. The programme's emphasis on building a strong foundation in Korean language was pivotal for my studies at HKU. Today, I'm proud to say that I've graduated from HKU and am thriving in the textile industry, specializing in the Korean market. Thanks to my College experience, I can excel in brand discovery, handling MLB, Hazzy, and Giordano KR, and I owe it all to the excellent programme and the teachers who nurtured me.
