Sharing about her poster, Quynh Nhu said “The poster, titled ‘Story passport – A book that tells a journey’ was inspired by the idea that every journey is like a page in a book, preserving memories, experiences, and growth. Therefore, I combined the passport, a symbol of stepping out into the world with book pages, which represent knowledge and storytelling. Through this design, I wanted to convey a story about the intersection and connection between Vietnamese and Korean cultures. It is not merely a journey of movement, but a journey of understanding".

Quynh Nhu’s poster not only showcased creativity and a deep understanding of both cultures, but also conquered the judging panel and the voting community through its harmonious combination of visual artistry, cultural exchange messaging, and a profound personal perspective.

This remarkable achievement stands as strong evidence of LHU students’ academic competence, creativity, and international integration capacity, while also highlighting the effectiveness of the University’s training programs in connecting disciplinary knowledge with practice and empowering students to confidently participate in large-scale academic and cultural arenas.
