On March 3 at 04:00 pm, the Visit Korea Committee (chaired by Park Sam-koo) held the completion ceremony for the 15th University Students’ National Smile Team at Ferrum Tower in Suha-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.

The University Students’ National Smile Team, comprised of 200 Korean and international students, was divided into 25 groups to promote hospitality under the K-Smile Campaign for five months beginning last October in celebration of the 2016–2018 Visit Korea Year. The groups visited various tourist attractions including Incheon International Airport, Myeong-dong, and Insa-dong. At the ceremony, the students reported on their progress and showed video clips of their activities. The top three groups received awards from the minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the chairman of the Visit Korea Committee in recognition of their outstanding performance. In addition to group prizes, individual winners of the “Smile Award” and “Care Award” were announced.

The 15th University Students’ National Smile Team promoted the K-Smile Campaign at the opening ceremony of the Korea Grand Sale in early January this year. They helped to enhance the international reputation of Korea by carrying out different programs, such as tattooing, coloring walls, and taking a pledge of kindness. At the same time, they motivated locals to play their part in spreading word of the K-Smile Campaign. The various events they took part in to promote the K-Smile Campaign include the Korea Sale FESTA held last October, the declaration of the Visit Gangwon Year, and the celebration of attracting a record-breaking 17 million foreign tourists.

Choi Hyun-soo (24-year-old, Gachon University), the leader of the grand prize-winning group, “Binggraehet,” remarked, “While promoting the K-Smile Campaign with my group, I felt a great sense of satisfaction from watching the foreigners enjoy themselves during their visit.” Kizasaki Asumi (24-year-old, Ewha Womans University), a Japanese student studying in Korea, said, “I’d like to continue promoting Korea’s spirit of hospitality even after today. I hope our efforts would encourage more Japanese tourists to return to Korea.”
