part of an application letter I was so pleasantly surprised when I came to know the YAP and realized that I am eligible, because I have been always expecting that one day I would have a chance to experience the Korean culture personally. I am just an ordinary college student, so as considerable Chinese teenagers, what I got in touch with about the Korean culture initially is definitely the Korean entertainment. Fascinating K-pop songs and dances, popular South Korean TV dramas and creative variety shows are all so attractive to me and really elicit my curiosity on the Korean culture. Question marks continually arise in my mind. Why some pronunciations among Korean, Chinese and Japanese are so resemble? How is Korean people’s daily life? What’s the Korean food tastes? Why is the Korean fashion so popular and widespread? I am just starting studying Korean by myself in that I am so interested in Korean culture. However, I was not born in a rich family and in other worlds my parents just more or less make ends meet. For this reason, no matter how I am dying for even a short trip in Korea, I still can’t afford it. Sincerely and honestly, the prime motivation for me to be a YA is that I can have such a valuable chance to explore the Korean culture practically without financial burden. What’s more, an internship abroad in Korea will be absolutely of great help for my graduation and finding a satisfactory job which is, to a certain extent, related to Korea. And last but not least, I have read the YAs’ job description seriously and then I found it is really a dream job for me, for working in international and multicultural background is exactly what I keep dreaming of. When it comes to the trilateral cooperation, I feel it seems that so many original thoughts are filled in my mind. I watched so many variety shows such as ‘Running Man’ and ‘We Got Married’. Especially now there is an anther version called ‘world edition’ of the show ‘We Got Married’. Both of those two couples in the show are foreign couples. Two brides are respectively from China and Japan while the bridegrooms are both Koreans. I love the idea of ’foreign couple’ so much because it is very interesting to see how do two foreigners with different culture background build a harmonious relationship and try to keep it up consistently. I have learnt a lot from the show, watching them respect and absorb the culture of each other.
