In 2023, during the memorable Blue Ladder Project, we experienced sweet moments in time with your Korean lecturers and students.” 
 
“All students, please remember that we are now a team, we will live, study, and experience warm days at SMi together, in Danang and in the nearby areas of Central Vietnam. I believe that you will all be left with many truly unforgettable memories, so let’s get acquainted now as our winter exchange program  begins. A warm welcome to you all and I wish you lots of joy and happiness!” 
 
Seong Uk, an SMU student, said: “Although we have only just begun, we really enjoyed the exciting welcoming activities and interesting language classes, and admire your friendliness, energy and hospitality. Some SMi students have already taken us to several beautiful places and we have tasted your delicious local food. I believe that, through this exchange program, we can acquire new knowledge and skills, make more new friends, and leave with long-lasting memories.”
 
This unique exchange program will leave participants with strong memories of Danang, and also strengthen a long-term relationship between SMi and SMU.
