Hoang Huong Giang, a gifted student from Vietnam, made headlines by choosing KAIST in South Korea over prestigious U.S. universities, having achieved the top score nationwide on Vietnam's college entrance exam and a perfect score on the SAT. Expressing her aspiration to apply the knowledge she gains through research to the real world, Giang shared her goal to continue her research activities while working at a South Korean company after graduation.

Beyond merely obtaining degrees, foreign students are envisioning different futures in South Korea that include employment and settlement. However, the employment barriers facing international students remain formidable. SBS <News Story> meets young international students from around the world who chose South Korea to examine their realities and explore what institutional support is needed.
