I have found youtubers that are foreigners in south korea but they don't give these life saving tips for the new comers or if someone plans to go south korea... you are the first one who give tips and advises that i watched so far... thanks a ton ...bless you ❤
Hi Yenni!!! I love your videos !! your are super directly with the information :), I would like to ask you: where are you form?, and what is your study method pleasee!!? thank you so much for share us your experience !! love you!!!
I'm from Uruguay, and as for the studying method I don't even know myself 😅 If you mean to study Korean what I've been really enjoying lately is using the book "your first hanja guide" by TTMIK to study vocabulary. Everything makes so much sense now that I know were words come from 😄 I would highly recommend it
You can get most art supplies here but if there’s anything that would be too expensive to buy again here then I’d try to save some space in your suitcase to bring it
Por ahora he estado usando iMovie pero a medida que quiero seguie mejorando la edicion de los videos me doy cuenta que es bastante basico asi que tal vez cambie a otro en el futuro
I loved your video! You've got a new subscriber! Can you please tell me how much money do I need to bring with me until the settlement allowance comes?
Glad to have you here! ☺️ the amount depends on a lot of factors I’d recommend you give this video a watch to have an idea of what you may need th-cam.com/video/JVO42JtUEMM/w-d-xo.html I think I left a comment saying exactly how much I brought but I don’t remember now how much it was
I don’t know for sure because that depends on the country’s regulations about pets (you should be able to find it in the official immigration website or sth like that) but if you are coming to do the Korean language year (in which you have to stay in dorms regardless of your choice) or directly to uní but to the dorms as well, then no, you wouldn’t be able to bring it. No pets of any kind are allowed in university
Cuanto demore depende de la universidad que te toque. Por ejemplo aca en Silla la encargada de los KGSP siempre nos paga tarde (aun no recibimos el dinero de septiembre) pero en otros lados lo tienen mas temprano. Generalmente el dinero extra de tu llegada lo estaras recibiendo en el segundo mes o algo asi. En cuanto a la cantidad, nosotros tuvimos que hacer cuarentena obligatoria por dos semanas y no pagamos nada de comida o dormitorio por ese tiempo, por eso no fue tanto. Yo diria que tal vez al rededor de 300 USD o algo asi estaria bien
Hey ! this is really helpful thank you for this✌ but i have a question.. I didn't have any awards or certificates cuz i'm kind of shy person till my 11th standard so i didn't take part in anything will it be a negative point for me over others because there are more candidate who is having a lot of awards n certificates... n this thing is bothering me...could you help me please that how can i improve my CV as i am in 12th now..
Awards do give you a plus, as does anything you can add, but if you don't have any and still your profile is strong I wouldn't stress to much about it. Of course it also depends on your country and how many people apply so it is hard to give you a definitive answer
Hello Foreigner Here, first of all thank you for making videos and exerting efforts for the aspiring KGS scholars like me. I'm from the Philippines and KGS application for this year has not yet open but I'm anticipating it. Before the application started, I will be very grateful if you can enlighten me for the following questions: 1. I am an orphan child - my parents died when I was 1 year old. According to the application guidelines, applicant must submit certificate of citizenship both from the applicant and his/her parents. In my case, I don't have my parents' (father and mother) birth certificates, they're already died and haven't met them both but I live with my Aunt since their departures. Question: considering my case, what should I do? 2. In selecting preferred universities, does it matter on the chances of being accepted as KGS scholar or it is equal for all universities? 3. In reference to the application guidelines also, it says all documents must be in A4 size paper, what should I do with my diploma, transcripts and other documents that are not or cannot be in A4 size due to the nature of their contents and how they are made by different issuing institutions? 4. In your own opinion, does having a proficiency score matters, i.e. will increase the chance of being chosen for the interview? Thank you for reading these questions and million thanks for answering them.
Well, to answer your first question I would first of all tell you to check on the guidelines carefully and also ask the embassy if you can because I'm not completely sure, but I think the death certificate will be enough proof and if you don't have that either maybe you can present the proof of citizenship of your legal guardian an not your parents. As for the second question, no, it is not equal. Each university has some specific requirement or quality they expect to see in the candidate so it depends in each case. In the case of the documents you can paste or clip to an A4 sheet any document that is smaller and fold any other that is bigger because they will not accept it if it is not A4 sized. And as for the last question, again it depends on your country, the university you want to apply, etc , but of course if you have any certificate of proficiency your profile will be much better than other who don't so that or anything that proof you are a qualified individual helps. Hope I was able to answer everything you needed!
I personally didn't include any awards myself but I guess that if you do have some certificate of a course or event you participated on which is related to your major or if you won any competition or thing like that maybe it will be a good idea to add them as your awards.
If you plan on buying one here in Korea not as much, but since lately a lot of things need to be done online you will need a laptop. Either from home or bought here
I think I only brought like 200 because I didn't need to buy a lot of stuff since I had brought with me the necessary stuff to "survive" that first month, but other people brought up to 500. I guess it depends on your budget and how much you bring in your suitcase
Hello. Want to inquire who picks you up when you arrive at the airport in Korea under KGSP. Do you get your own transportation or you are picked? Thank you🙏🏾
I've 1 que all scholar's from each country come together in same flight or they come separate separate on their own ❓❓❓ Thank you for your video it's really informative ❤️❤️
During your first year no but after that yes. (Now things have changed a little bit due to corona prevention protocols but generally speaking yes, you can go back to your country up to 30 days or so I believe)
No, application is in person. You can get the documents from the website but you need to print them out and hand them or send them over to the embassy. Watch my application video for more info on that
Idk because it's not my university, I'm just year for my language training year but I assume it is. Most universities requiere only TOPIK 3 but some want leven 4. It depends on the major and not so much the university it self.
Yes, you stay in the dorms of the uni you are assigned for language training. If you have TOPIK level 5 or 6 you are exempt from it and can go directly to your home uni

Do I need to bring blacked or not? for KGSP
I'll be applying for a fine art course, so what about my art supplies? Wouldn't i have to bring them? How will that affect my packing?
You can get most art supplies here but if there’s anything that would be too expensive to buy again here then I’d try to save some space in your suitcase to bring it
Muchas gracias! Me estoy viendo todos y cada uno de tus vídeos. Puedo preguntar con qué editas los vídeos?
Por ahora he estado usando iMovie pero a medida que quiero seguie mejorando la edicion de los videos me doy cuenta que es bastante basico asi que tal vez cambie a otro en el futuro
Can you please tell me the money in dollars

Thanks for the video ~~
I have a question, putting glasses wont be a struggle or a serious illness while applying?
No, I don’t think so. Lots of people that came here through the scholarship wear glasses so I think it’d be ok.
for people that have curly hair, do you recommend to bring a lot of shampoos, hair conditioner, etc?
Not really, you can find most of what you’ll need here
do you know if we are allowed to bring pets?
I don’t know for sure because that depends on the country’s regulations about pets (you should be able to find it in the official immigration website or sth like that) but if you are coming to do the Korean language year (in which you have to stay in dorms regardless of your choice) or directly to uní but to the dorms as well, then no, you wouldn’t be able to bring it.

Hola!! Una preguntilla:
¿Cuanto tarda en llegar el dinero? Y si tarda mucho ¿Cuanto recomendarías llevar para los primero días?
Cuanto demore depende de la universidad que te toque. Por ejemplo aca en Silla la encargada de los KGSP siempre nos paga tarde (aun no recibimos el dinero de septiembre) pero en otros lados lo tienen mas temprano. Generalmente el dinero extra de tu llegada lo estaras recibiendo en el segundo mes o algo asi. En cuanto a la cantidad, nosotros tuvimos que hacer cuarentena obligatoria por dos semanas y no pagamos nada de comida o dormitorio por ese tiempo, por eso no fue tanto. Yo diria que tal vez al rededor de 300 USD o algo asi estaria bien

May I ask what size of bedding that the dorm usually use?
In Silla they had two different bedding sizes depending on the dorm so idk if there is a norm. Now in Ewha I have a twin xl I think
Can I ask, is it essential to bring our own laptops??
If you plan on buying one here in Korea not as much, but since lately a lot of things need to be done online you will need a laptop. Either from home or bought here
Hello. I have one question.how much money should we bring with ourselves while moving towards korea.please reply. I'm your new subscriber
I think I only brought like 200 because I didn't need to buy a lot of stuff since I had brought with me the necessary stuff to "survive" that first month, but other people brought up to 500. I guess it depends on your budget and how much you bring in your suitcase
@@ForeignerHere lm sorry about 200 and 500 .can please tell me in dollars
I meant 200/500 dollars
Hello. Want to inquire who picks you up when you arrive at the airport in Korea under KGSP. Do you get your own transportation or you are picked?
Thank you🙏🏾
They will give you that information once you are assigned a language universiry. They are the ones that pick you up at the airport
Hi. Did you pass the interview at the embassy (or the university review)?
Thank you for the video but I am wondering if it is possible to get a part time job in Korea as a KGS scholar
It is. It needs to be in your university or if not you can only work part time during vacation period.
I've 1 que all scholar's from each country come together in same flight or they come separate separate on their own ❓❓❓ Thank you for your video it's really informative ❤️❤️
You may be able to meet someone on the way but generally you come alone
@@ForeignerHere soo they'll give us date to arrive in Korea
Can we visit our country in between with our own expense????🙄
During your first year no but after that yes. (Now things have changed a little bit due to corona prevention protocols but generally speaking yes, you can go back to your country up to 30 days or so I believe)
Do we have to apply online for the Scholarship before applying to the embassy
No, application is in person. You can get the documents from the website but you need to print them out and hand them or send them over to the embassy. Watch my application video for more info on that
How much they will give for monthly allowance
900.000 won for undergraduate and 1.000.000 for graduate. If you have TOPIK level five or six they give you 100.000 extra on top of that
Hi topik 3 enaugh for this university sillla?
Idk because it's not my university, I'm just year for my language training year but I assume it is. Most universities requiere only TOPIK 3 but some want leven 4. It depends on the major and not so much the university it self.
When you land for kgsp, you have to do the language course first so do they provide you with a space to stay while doing the language course or not??
Yes, you stay in the dorms of the uni you are assigned for language training. If you have TOPIK level 5 or 6 you are exempt from it and can go directly to your home uni
@@ForeignerHere do we have to pay for the language training dorm?
Hello, I have a question about the money: how much do you recommend to bring with you meanwhile we receive the first payment (scholarship )?
Thank you
Maybe around 200 dollars or so just in case
Can I get hairspray in Korea? 🤔

What about the wax 🤷♀️🤭
Oh I have a lot to say about that 😔 if many people are interested maybe I can make a video about those girl-things
