Yukina Fujino
Accepted as a 3rd year transfer student, Department of Clothing Industry, Ewha Womans University, Korea
TOEIC® 770, Korean Language Proficiency Test (TOPIK) Level 6 (highest level)
I enrolled in Kanda Institute of Foreign Languages because I became interested in Korean fashion and food culture through Korean TV dramas and wanted to live there. I had many opportunities to speak freely with Korean teachers, and I was able to learn real Korean, which is different from the Korean language used in TV dramas. Occasionally, Korean students visit Japan and we have opportunities for international exchange. We did fieldwork together around Tokyo Station and Asakusa, and had a lot of fun talking about our favorite anime and love stories. I am still connected with them through SNS. Outside of school, I also had the opportunity to volunteer at an international conference where TV drama producers and scriptwriters from Asian countries gathered. I will never forget being able to exchange words in Korean with famous scriptwriters in Korea. In choosing a place to study abroad, I applied to Ewha Womans University, which is well known in Japan and is also prestigious in Korea. Although Ewha Womans University had no experience in transferring students to other universities, they supported us so much that we had nothing to worry about. The transfer requirement was to obtain TOPIK level 4 or above, but I eventually passed level 6, the highest level. I plan to study design extensively while learning about the history of clothing culture and practical production methods. What I want to pursue is fashion that combines the essence of Korea and Japan. I would like to use my skills in both Korean and English to deeply study designs there that I am uniquely qualified to do.
