PERSONAL STATEMENT

1. Motivations for Applying to the Program

My name is Tran Hoai Thuong, a 31-year-old educator and researcher from Vietnam. My deep passion for history has driven me to explore historical narratives and their influence on international relations. As Vietnam and South Korea continue to strengthen their bilateral ties, I am particularly interested in studying the historical foundations that have shaped their interactions.

To deepen my expertise, I aspire to pursue a Master’s degree in Korean History at Kongju National University through the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS-G) 2025. Kongju National University, renowned for its strong history department and research-oriented approach, provides an ideal environment to refine my research skills and contribute to the study of Vietnam-Korea relations. After completing my degree, I aim to return to Vietnam to teach at the Faculty of History, University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH), while engaging in research that fosters academic exchanges between the two countries.

2. Educational Background

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Ho Chi Minh Thought from the Faculty of History, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (USSH-VNUHCM). My studies provided a solid foundation in historical analysis, philosophy, and diplomacy. My passion for research was reinforced when I received a university-level award for my study, “Applying Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology in Vietnam–U.S. Relations (1995–2015),” which honed my academic writing, critical thinking, and historical research skills.

Additionally, I won Third Prize in the Vietnamese National History Competition (2012), earning direct admission to university. Over the years, I have developed strong language skills, achieving TOPIK Level 6, demonstrating my advanced Korean proficiency. My self-study journey has been enriched through extensive reading, cultural immersion, and participation in academic programs in South Korea.

3. Significant Experiences

My academic journey has been shaped by diverse international experiences, two of which significantly influenced my perspective on Korean history and culture:

· 2012 Jeju World Youth Forum: This event broadened my understanding of global youth leadership and historical discourse.

· 2018 Cultural Partnership Initiative (CPI) Program: Sponsored by the Korea Foundation, this program allowed me to study at Seoul National University (SNU), where I received Korean language and cultural training along with specialized courses on tourism management. I traveled across ten provinces in South Korea, visiting historical sites, museums, and academic institutions. This experience deepened my understanding of Korea’s modernization and solidified my academic interest in President Park Chung Hee’s economic policies and their impact on Korea-Vietnam relations.

4. Influential Figures or Events

One of the most influential figures in my academic journey is Professor Lee Hyang Mi, my mentor during the CPI program. Her passion for history and dedication to research inspired me to pursue advanced studies in Korean history. She encouraged me to view history not only as a study of the past but as a tool for understanding and shaping contemporary international relations. Her mentorship reinforced my ambition to specialize in Vietnam-Korea diplomatic history and contribute to academic discussions on bilateral relations.

5. Awards, Publications, and Skills

Awards:

· Third Prize, Vietnamese National History Competition (2012)

· University-level Research Award for Outstanding Academic Research (2016)

Skills:

· Korean Language Proficiency: TOPIK Level 6

· Historical Research & Analysis

· Academic Writing

· Cross-Cultural Communication

6. Extracurricular Activities, Community Service, and Work Experiences

After graduation, I worked as a history teacher at a vocational school for two years, developing innovative teaching methods to engage students. I also founded a History Olympiad Club for high school students, mentoring them for national competitions.

Beyond teaching, I co-founded a local tourism company in Hai Tac Archipelago, Kien Giang Province, applying the tourism management knowledge I gained from the CPI program. Recognizing the importance of language proficiency in academic research, I later transitioned to teaching Korean, which strengthened my language skills and allowed me to collaborate with Korean scholars and students, deepening my understanding of Korean culture and history.

7. Conclusion

With my strong academic background, research experience, and passion for history, I am a well-qualified candidate for the GKS-G Scholarship. Studying at Kongju National University will provide an outstanding academic environment to deepen my research on Korea-Vietnam relations and contribute to the growing field of Korean Studies. My ultimate goal is to become a historian and professor specializing in Vietnam-Korea relations, promoting cross-cultural academic exchanges and fostering a deeper understanding between the two nations.

I sincerely appreciate your consideration of my application. Thank you!

STUDY PLAN

1. Korean Language Study Plan

As a historian aspiring to specialize in Vietnam-Korea relations, language proficiency is essential for my academic and research success. I have actively pursued Korean language studies, achieving TOPIK Level 6 through self-study, reading academic materials, and engaging with native speakers.

Before going to Korea, I have strengthened my academic Korean skills by reading historical texts, research papers, and official documents related to Korea’s modernization and diplomatic history. Additionally, I have practiced writing academic essays and participating in discussions with Korean scholars and students.

After arriving in Korea, I will continue to refine my language skills by actively attending academic seminars, conferences, and forums. My goal is to publish research papers in Korean, contributing directly to the academic discourse on Vietnam-Korea historical relations. Furthermore, I will utilize my language proficiency to collaborate effectively with professors and peers in research projects, ensuring smooth communication and knowledge exchange.

2. Study Objectives & Study Plan

2.1. Study Objectives

Vietnam and South Korea share a unique historical relationship shaped by cultural exchanges and evolving diplomatic ties. My primary academic interest lies in Korea’s modernization under President Park Chung-hee and its impact on Vietnam-Korea relations. By studying the historical foundations of Korea’s economic transformation, I hope to draw valuable lessons applicable to Vietnam’s development trajectory.

Kongju National University is well known for its strong programs in Korean history and research-oriented environment. I believe that pursuing a Master’s degree at Kongju National University will equip me with a solid academic foundation and enable me to contribute to the study of Vietnam-Korea historical relations.

2.2. Study Plan

To achieve my academic objectives, I have developed a structured two-year study plan:

First Year:

Enroll in core courses on Korean history, such as Modern Korean History, Economic and Political Transformations in Korea, and East Asian Relations.
Develop advanced research methodologies through courses on historical analysis and archival studies.
Engage in discussions with faculty and peers to refine my research focus.

Second Year:

Conduct in-depth research on Korea’s modernization policies and their influence on Vietnam-Korea relations.
Collect primary sources from Korean archives, libraries, and historical institutions.
Present research findings at academic conferences and submit papers to historical journals.
Complete and defend my Master’s thesis, ensuring its contribution to the academic understanding of Vietnam-Korea historical ties.

Beyond coursework, I plan to actively participate in history-related extracurricular activities such as university research groups, cultural exchange programs, and historical field trips. These experiences will allow me to gain practical insights into Korean history beyond academic texts.

3. Future Plans After Graduation

After completing my Master’s degree, I plan to return to Vietnam and contribute to the academic and cultural exchange between Vietnam and Korea. My long-term goal is to become a historian and professor specializing in Vietnam-Korea relations at the Faculty of History, University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH), Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM).

Short-term Goals (1–3 years after graduation):

Teach Korean history to Vietnamese students, helping them understand Korea’s historical development and its relevance to Vietnam.
Develop new courses on Vietnam-Korea relations, incorporating insights from my research.
Publish academic papers and books on the historical ties between Vietnam and Korea.

Long-term Goals (5+ years after graduation):

Establish academic exchange programs between USSH and Korean universities, fostering collaboration among scholars and students.
Promote research on Korea’s modernization and its implications for Vietnam’s economic policies.
Serve as a bridge between Vietnamese and Korean historians, facilitating deeper historical discourse and mutual understanding.

Through my academic and professional contributions, I hope to strengthen Vietnam-Korea bilateral relations, ensuring that historical knowledge serves as a foundation for enhanced diplomatic and economic cooperation in the future.

Conclusion

The GKS-G scholarship represents a pivotal opportunity for me to advance my academic career and contribute to the historical studies of Vietnam-Korea relations. With my strong research background, teaching experience, and passion for history, I am confident in my ability to succeed in a Master’s program at Kongju National University.

By pursuing this program, I will not only enhance my own knowledge but also empower future Vietnamese students with a deeper understanding of Korean history. I look forward to the opportunity to study in Korea and to make meaningful contributions to historical research and cross-cultural academic exchange.

To: The Selection Committee of the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS-G) 2025

I am honored to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Tran Hoai Thuong, an outstanding graduate of our Faculty of History at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (USSH-VNUHCM). As the Head of the Faculty of History, I have had the opportunity to observe Mr. Thuong’s academic journey, and I am confident that he is a highly qualified candidate for the GKS scholarship and the Master’s program in Korean History at a prestigious university in Korea.

Mr. Thuong graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Ho Chi Minh Thought, demonstrating a strong passion for history and international relations. His research on “Applying Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology in Vietnam–U.S. Relations (1995–2015)” won a university-level research award, showcasing his analytical skills, critical thinking, and ability to conduct in-depth historical research. Additionally, he was among the top students in our department, achieving Third Prize in the Vietnamese National History Competition in 2012.

One of Mr. Thuong’s most remarkable qualities is his independent research capability and teamwork skills. His participation in the 2018 Cultural Partnership Initiative (CPI) Program in Korea and his experience as a Korean language instructor have further enriched his understanding of Korean history and culture. Notably, his TOPIK Level 6 certification proves his strong linguistic abilities, which will be invaluable for his studies in Korea.

Furthermore, Mr. Thuong has demonstrated a clear commitment to contributing to the academic field and fostering Vietnam-Korea relations. His teaching experience at a vocational school and his initiative in founding a History Olympiad Club for high school students highlight his dedication to education. His long-term goal of returning to Vietnam to teach at our Faculty of History and advancing Vietnam-Korea historical studies aligns well with the mission of the GKS program.

With his outstanding academic achievements, research experience, and unwavering dedication to historical studies, I strongly believe that Mr. Tran Hoai Thuong is an exceptional candidate for the Global Korea Scholarship. His admission to a leading university in Korea will not only benefit his academic and professional growth but also contribute to the strengthening of Vietnam-Korea academic cooperation.

I sincerely recommend Mr. Tran Hoai Thuong for this prestigious scholarship. Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone.

Sincerely.
