This achievement is clear evidence that UPI’s PBK students are capable of competing at the global level, both in academic mastery of the Korean language and in practical application.

The international speech contest brought together participants from multiple countries, making Allisya’s victory not only a proud moment for UPI but also a positive representation of Indonesia on the global stage.
