- What is Global Student Mentoring Forum?


This is a forum made up of highly intelligent
and creative foreign students from different parts
of the world currently studying in Korean
Universities. The association was formed by
Professor Chung Tai Myoung ( ) of
the department of in
(Sungkyunkwan University). The aim of GSMF is
to create a leveling platform for international
students to get together at least once a month,
learn about themselves as well as the different
sponsors of the forum who take turns to host
the monthly general meetings. During the
general meetings, GSMF students are given a
tour of the host company, treated to sumptuous
dinners, students also learn about the activities
of host companies as well as internship
opportunities. The second section of the
meeting is learning about different cultures of
some students as well as familiarizing with
upcoming events of GSMF.
GSMF has successfully maintained winter and
summer camps where about 30 to 50 students
are selected to participate for free. Such camps
are usually a 2 nights three days trip and the
students including some mentors use such events
to unwind and get to know each other better.
GSMF has a strong tradition of giving out
various captivating gifts to all students present
during general meetings courtesy of sponsors
and mentors.

The average attendance rate of every meeting is
about 120 students.
GSMF also organizes extracurricular activities such as
rural volunteer programs, K-live shows and dinners.
Other events such as sport activities, field trips, essay
writing competitions just to mention a few are part
of the 2015 upcoming events that the forum has
laid out for its loyal and well deserving members.
During summer and winter vacations, Curriculum
Vitaes are accepted from different GSMF students
who wish to take part in internship programs. The
documents are then forwarded to GSMF sponsor
companies depending on the choice of the
applicants. If they are lucky, such students are
selected to work as interns for eight weeks. There
undoubtedly are pressing needs for GSMF to improve
the number of students who are taken in as interns
biannually because, currently the numbers are a far
cry from what it should be considering the number
of dedicated and smart GSMF students who apply
for internship positions.

II. NEWS from February

GSMF STUDENTS GETS TREATED TO


A SUPERB 2015 WINTER SKI CAMP AT PHOENIX PARK
By Mgbemeje Esther
(CBNU)
Koreans usually think of Christmas whenever they experience the first snow of the year but after the
Christmas period is over, they are engulfed with the feeling of a ski and snowboard experience
offered by high standard ski camps. Every year, GSMF students are given the opportunity to enjoy
two wonderful camp experiences during winter and summer periods and this year was no exception.
The 2015 GSMF winter Ski camp was held at Phoenix Park from 8th to 10th of February. A total of
thirty eight students were treated to an all-expense paid fun packed two night three days ski and
snowboard event thanks to the wonderful sponsors of the forum.
Majority of the students arrived the park
before 12pm on the first day and they
were immediately issued their name tags,
GSMF hoodies, food and elevator tags
before heading out for lunch. Phoenix Park
was filled with over 500 ski and snow
board lovers comprising of families,
individuals and groups who came to have
fun. The food court had the options of
either ordering from the side food stores
or eating the food provided by the parks
cooks for those who included meals in
their payment package. After lunch, all
GSMF participants reported back to the
groups assigned meeting venue where the
GSMF volunteer staffs with the supervision
of Mrs. Lee helped the attendees get their
ski and snow board gears. You could tell
from the heavy smiles on the faces of participants that they were really excited to go make
wonderful memories with friends out in the snow. Once everyone
geared up, they were divided into five groups with volunteer
translators who helped the park instructors teach participants how
to ski and snow board. It was very cold and few students went
back to their rooms after some minutes but majority of the
students were having so much fun that the cold did not matter.
It was really amazing that 90% of the
or snow boarded before in their lives.
enthusiastic and willing to learn the
sports. Though the time for skiing and

members had never skied


It made them even more
skills and tricks of both

day was two hours, many students headed back outside after diner to continue practicing.
Professor Chung and Professor Park were also at the
winter camp and I must say they really did spice up
the event. After dinner and a little resting time, all
GSMF members and professors reassembled at the
seminar room for the evening activities. Professor
Chung gave the welcome speech and also some words
of advice to everyone present after which, one of the
committee
leaders
Esther
gave
an
interactive
presentation about perception to help kick start the
evening activities. It was really nice to see members
listen and contribute to the topic and immediately after
the discussions, the game night started.
Sujin and
Esther randomly divided everyone including professors
into four teams namely Team G, S, M, F then, a team
of Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indian friends led by Imrose introduced the first game for the evening
called Kabbadi. It is a very popular and interesting game enjoyed by family and friends. It is usually
played by two teams consisting of about 4 to 7 persons in each team competing for the team which
can successfully go over to the rivals side while continuously chanting Kabbadi in a single breath,
touch any person in the rival team and successfully cross back to their own side without being held
back in the rival teams court. The point distribution system was 400 points for 1st position, 300points
for 2nd position , 200 points for 3rd position and a hundred points for the fourth position per game.
Also additional 50 points was given to the most cheerful and organized teams respectively.
After the Kabbadi game, a catch ball game was
played. This game was very fascinating as the final
rounds saw the competitive nature of the guys come
to light as they tried to make sure their teams got
the highest points. Lastly, a Korean traditional game
called Yutnori was played. This I must say was a nice
way to round off the game competition session as
everyone enjoyed the game and teams saw their
victories taken away from them just as they were
about to reach the final stage. It was fun and Team
G won the overall game competition.
After everyone rested for a bit, Professor Chung took students to enjoy Karaoke and bowling at a
plaza located very close to the park. He also ensured that refreshments such as drinks and snacks
were provided. Students and Professor Chung sang and danced to different songs after which, some
persons who wanted to go bowling went to the
bowling session to have more fun. Thanks to the five
mission tasks that was dished out to attendees before
they left their homes for the park, a great number of
pictures was taken at every point of each event by so
many students. Karaoke and bowling came to an end
around 1.30am and everyone chatted, teased and
laughed as they strolled back to their rooms to call it
a day.
As expected, many students did not bother waking up
early for breakfast the next day however by lunch time
they were up and ready to go have another captivating experience. This time, they had longer hours
to ski and snow board and they did justice to the freedom given to them. On the second day many
students who could not ski or snow board before coming to the park, where getting their acts right.

Also, some students in a bid to challenge themselves abandoned the beginners track for a more
difficult intermediate and professional track. At about 2pm, everyone gathered at the top of the
highest mountain called Mount Blanc with the help of the cable cars for a group picture which by
the way, was one of the mission tasks given to participants. After taking so many nice pictures with
the beautiful scenery of Mount Blanc, a few students snow boarded and skied from the top all the
way down to the beginners level while the remaining students returned using the cable cars.
After dinner that night, some persons used their free time for more skiing and snowboarding some
used theirs to bond more with friends by chatting and drinking while some others played cards with
their roomies while taking pictures, chatting and cracking up with jokes. Everyone was undoubtedly
having a great time and by 9.30pm, they were all treated to pizza, chicken and cola thanks to
Professor Chung.
The last day of the camp saw many students sad to leave the fun they were having behind at the
park hence they ensured they stayed till the camps rental shops were about closing by 5pm before
turning in their gears. A few others decided they had had more than enough fun hence they headed
out a bit earlier using the 11am or 2pm bus. The most intriguing thing was that in just two nights
and three days, people had formed what scientist call covalent bonds amongst themselves and also
the GSMF Facebook page had more than six hundred photos, likes and comments uploaded on it.
One needs no soothsayer to know and agree that the 2015 GSMF WINTER SKI CAMP was a huge
success and I honestly urge students who missed out this time to ensure they partake in the next
GSMF major event which is the 2015 GSMF SUMMER CAMP.

Q1: Why did you form GSMF forum?


Hi: L do no Gio s thnh lp Din n GSMF?
: GSMF
?
Q: GSMF ?

A: I found that we have over


90,000 foreign students with
no special or well organized
welfare for them. When I was
in the United States, I had no
support from the US
government or citizens. Though
there were few Koreans living
in the same region as I at that
time, the emotional support
was next to nothing. Secondly,
if you observe the global cycle
today, you will notice that the
economic power is gradually
moving from Europe and America to other parts of the world. I believe we should begin to develop
great relationships amongst ourselves and I think that creating a forum where international students
from very diverse background can meet, develop and share ideas together, is a perfect way of
forming this relationship. When the forum was formed, doctor O Yong of S-oil was the chairman of
the forum. That made it easy to obtain funds for the program. Currently GSMF monthly meetings are
held once a month and I must say that we have very enthusiastic and highly supportive team
leaders, members, mentors and sponsors of the group.

Q2: What is the current number of GSMF members?


Hi: S thnh vin hin nay ca GSMF l bao nhiu?

Q: GSMF ?

A: Korea is not the permanent home for


99% of the students who school here
therefore every year we have students
returning back to their countries after
the end of their programs. With the
inclusion of such students, we currently
have a little over a thousand GSMF
members and over a hundred students
attend the GSMF general monthly
meetings.

: GSMF ?
Q: GSMF ?

A: First, I would say enjoy your student life here and develop a great relationship with more
international students with this wonderful opportunity.
Secondly, I would say make sure to learn something other than academics while in Korea. Learn
about the Korean history, culture, language and way of life. This aspect is definitely one I did not
fully accomplish while schooling in the States. I did not utilize the opportunity I had to learn about
the culture and way of life of Americans. I taught in Sunday schools however, I strongly believe that,
that was not sufficient enough.
Thirdly, I want to urge all GSMF members and international students in general to design and shape
their future. I believe that we have been chosen as ambassadors for our various countries. Make sure
you plan your future and set the bar very high because when you do, it makes you work twice as
hard as you would normally. Even though you may not achieve 100% of your set goals, you will
achieve at least 95% and that is a superb achievement.
Lastly, I urge everyone to always stay in touch with friends and the GSMF team as a whole even
after returning back to your country. You never can tell who amongst us will become the next
president or minister etc. and he or she might end up needing your services. Currently, we are
keeping in touch with members of the GSMF team through the GSMF monthly newsletters.

Q4: Sir, I observed that the forum currently does not have any permanent
staff why is that so?
Hi: Gio s, em nhn thy rng hin ti th din n khng c bt k nhn vin c nh no, ti sao li nh th?
A: , ?
Q: ?

A: Its simply because I believe that we do not need permanent staff for GSMF. We have graduate
students who volunteer as committee members and corporate staff to help run the program and both
categories of volunteers are supervised by my secretary Mrs. Lee. Secondly, one of our major
supporters will be reducing the financial support we are receiving from them soon and I know that
we need monthly salaries for permanent staff as opposed to free services from student volunteers.
These volunteers are also learning as they render their services and that opportunity will be
completely eliminated if we hire permanent staff.

incorporated into the GSMF program?
Hi: Gio s, bn cnh gp mt hng thng, th nhng hot ng no khc c thc hin cng vi hot ng ca GSMF?

Q: , GSMF ?

A: We currently have the yearly volunteer events which started last year. About 35 GSMF students
volunteered for the Korea rural farmers volunteer program that held at Chujeongju-do during last
year summer. The students helped the farmers in weeding, planting, watering of crops just to
mention a few. The program was aired by local television stations. Also last year, we had the k-live
event where students were entertained by hologram performances of various Kpop stars. We also had
the ITU potential plenary meeting at Busan but very few students participated in that. At GSMF, I
ensure that ideas for new events are welcomed so long as, it is not too expensive and it is beneficial
to students. Also all students must not attend all programs because their main aim of coming to
Korea is to study and sometimes, laboratory tasks or classes may not afford the students opportunity
to come for all events.

: , GSMF ,
?
Q: GSMF , ?

A: I admit it is partly my fault. I have not been spending as much time as I should in monitoring
GSMF students applications for internship opportunities. Also, there are some challenges in the sense
that, big sponsor companies have lots of internship opportunities but huge selection procedures while
small companies have less selection procedures but very little internship opportunities hence I am left
with mainly medium scale companies. Starting this year, I am going to change the internship
application process for GSMF members. I have directed that a homepage focusing on internship
opportunities where only GSMF students can upload their credentials and sponsor companies can
directly access these credentials and make their choices from what the students have submitted, be
designed.
One of the major limitations in the acceptance of GSMF members for internship opportunities is due
to the fact that, I personally do not know the capacity and intelligence levels of all GSMF students.
Another limitation is due to the fact that, most of these companies prefer long term internship of six
to twelve months compared to the two months internship programs.
I would like to emphasize that just good grades would not make me recommend any one for
internship opportunities. I have to see a combination of excellent grades, high enthusiasm in all given
task, excellent intelligence, prompt and excellent execution of tasks. When I see any GSMF student(s)
that meets all these qualities, I will personally recommend such student(s) to one of our sponsor
companies depending on the student(s) area of expertise. So this
year, we will be focusing on match making internship programs
so as to ensure students get internships in suitable companies in

Q9: Sir we know that


we currently have
heads of various
committees however do
you think we need an
election system where
these leaders can be
changed after a certain
period of time?
Hi: C cn thit thit lp nn mt

A: ,

Q: , ?


A: I strongly believe that we do not need an election system. As I mentioned in the beginning
section of this interview, majority of the students studying in Korea return to their countries after
the completion of their programs, GSMF members inclusive. Also, the current leader of various
committees in the forum are highly energetic, enthusiastic and passionate individuals and I believe
that they can execute their tasks perfectly and when they are ready to return back to their countries,
I will want them to nominate someone who they strongly believe can continue the wonderful task
that they have already started.
Another area I want to quickly mention is that we will be inviting more Koreans to the forum
because it is a Global Student Mentoring Forum and not an International Students Mentoring Forum
hence we need to raise the number of Korean participants to 10-20% of our members. Who knows
some of the potential Korean members may end up being heads of some committees.

An important lesson committee members learn during the course of their tenure is the ability to
work with people from different nationalities and culture. This will go a long way in helping them in
their career life.

A: I urge all international students to always aim high and set their dreams very high even though it
may seem too high. I also advice that they capitalize on making global connections and this starts
with interacting and forming long lasting relationships with other students from different countries.
The third advice will be for them to shun procrastination and act now while ensuring that they carry

every act with great enthusiasm. Lastly, I encourage them to never waste their time because, no
matter how much time they may think they have, time is never enough. I am currently the
chairman of 19 different committees and people always ask me how? My answer is always the
same. I ensure that I use my time well. It is very sad that some persons use only 3 to 4 hours out
of the 24 hours we have in a day, for productive things. It is simple math. If such persons increase
the number of productive hours to say 10 hours a day then, they will achieve more than twice of
what they already are achieving. In life, you will need helpers in form of family, friends, teachers etc.
so ensure you use those opportunities well.
My greatest philosophy is to always enjoy whatever you are doing. If you do not enjoy doing it then
do not do it. By enjoy, I do not mean in the aspect of clubbing, partying, playing with friends etc. I
mean in the sense of having fun while doing what needs to be done in a passionate way because
you will benefit from such a task in the future. Take for instance studying, even though it can be
really stressful, if you are passionate about your course of study then you would never be weighed
down by the stress. During my studies in America, I had huge financial and emotional challenges and
I survived those challenges by always focusing on the
bright future I knew I would have if I completed my
course of study successfully. That and the fact that I loved
my major kept me going and up till this very moment I
have never regretted making such decisions because it has
been wonderful and am grateful for it.

IV. ARTICLE

DOKDO ISLAND
By Mgbemeje Esther (CBNU)
Dokdo Island also known as Takeshima by
Japanese people is a special Island because
of its unique strategic position and high
economic potential. It has an Exclusive
Economic Zone which is home to a variety
of sea plants and animals such as Seaweed,
Kelp, Sea Lions, Abalone, Alaskan Pollock
and hydrate natural gas. It also symbolizes
the colonial rule of Korea by the Japanese
government and up till this day, it brings
mixed reactions to both Koreans and
Japanese anytime the Islands ownership is
been discussed. The claims by Japanese that
the
Island
is
rightfully
theirs
are
continuously met by very strong and stiff resistance from South Koreans who believe that
legitimately have territorial sovereignty over the island given well studied historical evidence.
With the intense heat that discussion of the Island brings, the pertinent question of What
Dokdo Island means for Koreans becomes unavoidable?
There really is no 100% answer to the above question because even though Koreans have
presented a really strong and convincing argument about the topic, some arguments made by
the Japanese government is worth looking into hence they cant be swept under the carpet.
Exploring some historical and cultural claims and evidence made by both parties, one
becomes aware of the fact that Japans claim of sovereignty of the Island is strongly based
on the earliest cognizance of Takeshima which .records show that it started in 1905. Records
show that a Japanese citizen named Nakai Yozaburo wanted to get a ten years lease of
Dokdo Island for Sea Lions hunting purposes. Originally he wanted to seek the permit from
the South Korean government but he was advised against it with argument that the Island
belongs to Japan. This event was followed by the decision to annex the islets of the Island
for military purposes mainly because of the Russo Japanese War, by the Director of the
political Affairs Bureau in Japan, Yamaza Enjiro.
Some Japanese historians argue that Dokdo Island was without any owner in 1905 so Japan
claimed it therefore it is Japans inherent territory.
Unfortunately, these claims are highly contradictory to the 1877 Japan prime ministers
directive which stated that Dokdo Island was not Japanese territory. Another contradiction to
the above claims is that the claims of South Korea as the owner of the Island dates as far
back as the Shilla Dynasty in 512 AD. In 1696, a Korean inspector named Jang Han Sang
mentioned seeing Koreas mountains from Chosuns Ulleungdo Island. In that same year,
Japan surrendered the possession of Ulleungdo Island to Korea after a dispute involving
23

Japanese fishermen on the island.

A Korean researcher by name Ms. Yu Mi-Rim discovered


two
Japanese
government
documents namely Ordinance No.
24 of the Prime Ministers Office,
dated
June
6,
1951,
and
Ordinance No. 4 of the Ministry
of Finance, dated February 13
1951 which precisely stated that,
amongst islands adjacent to Japan,
Jejudo, Ulleungdo and Dokdo
(Takeshima) were excluded from
the Japanese governmental and
administrative
authority,
thus
clearly
affirming
that
the
aforementioned islands are not part
of Japans inherent territory.

Some past events have shown that some Koreans take the issue of the Island very seriously.
In 2005, the Japanese Shimane prefecture announcement of a Takeshima Day was met with
huge demonstration and protest by Koreans with some recorded extreme cases of a mother
and son slicing off their own fingers and a man self-immolating himself. These actions are
due to the unreserved passion some Koreans hold towards the issue of Dokdo Island.
Dokdo Island which is viewed by
most Koreans as a key factor of
their existence symbolizes a deep
historical value to them and they
some believe that losing the
Islands sovereignty to Japan is
equivalent to the loss of Koreas
pride because they are convinced
that the Island was annexed from
them by Japan during the colonial
rule (1910-1945) during which
there are strong evidence that
suggests
that
Koreans
ere
inhumanely
treated
by
their
colonial masters.
Secondly, handing over the ownership of the Island to Japan would be seen as giving Japan
a free pass to avoid accepting responsibility for the war crimes they committed and into
avoiding the penalties of their actions towards Koreans. Such action will definitely will be a
bitter and constant reminder of how they surrendered to Japan in 1910 and how helpless
they were to the predicaments that befell them as a result of Japans rule.
Another important aspect of the situation is the economic value of the island which cannot
be under estimated as it consists of the rich natural resources and highly diverse aquatic
24

habitat present in the Island. The
huge numbers of hydrate (a
hydrocarbon that is a good
alternative for oil) can help South
Korea develop a strong energy
sector which will boost the
economy if explored. Gaining
territorial sovereignty over Dokdo
will also see Korea having
maritime
and
Jurisdictional
exclusivity as stated in Article 57
of the Preamble of the United
Nations of the Law of the Sea.
Lastly is the strategic location of
Dokdo which lies between Korea, China, Japan and Russia. South Korea is currently making
good use of this advantage in monitoring activities of both Japan and Russia naval forces
through the radar base stationed in the Island.
South Koreans are working hard to make establish a strong presence on the Island. In
August 26, 2012, the Korea Basketball Association held a tournament game with four teams
that consisted of high school players as well as a friendly match with guards of Dokdo
Police Garrison.
Also since 1996, the South Korean military have held a 4-day Island defense exercise drill in
a bid to familiarize themselves with the best strategy to defend the Island in case the need
arises.
Dokdo is one of the
symbols of South Koreas
freedom and pride hence
one cannot help but think
that the acceptance of
Korea as the owner of the
Island by the Japanese
would go a long way in
helping cement the strained
relationship between these
two strong Asia power
house. Lots of awareness is
been raised by Koreans to
help enlighten the public
about the sovereignty of
Dokdo.

V. GSMF MEMBERS CORNER


- RELFECTION ON THE WINTER CAMP 2015
Hey, I am Cassie popularly known as the strong girl (LOLZ).
Remember me? I cant help but smile each time I see our cute
winter pictures on GSMF Face book page. I miss you guys a
lot and I look forward to seeing you guys more in the near
future. Thank you so much Professor Chung and Professor
Park for giving us the chance to create those sweet memories
with our friends and for participating with us in games, singing
and dancing. I love everyone in GSMF dearly.
Hello everyone, I am Jawad Khan, a PhD Scholar at Kyung-Hee
University. First I would like to say that, I am grateful to all
GSMF's staff for arranging various superb GSMF events such
as; Winter Camp, Summer Camp, New Years party, Social
Activities, volunteer programs etc. to help foreign students
learn and experience the Korean culture and Korea scenery.
This years Winter Ski Camp which held at Phoenix Park for 2
nights and 3days was really enjoyable. I would like to
appreciate all GSMF staff, Professors and fellow GSMF
members. I would like to say special thanks to Miss. Sujin
Kwon, Prof. Tai Chung and Hong Ji Hoon for their help and
kind cooperation to all participants during the winter camp

Hi, I am Imrose Bin Muhit, a student of ChungAng University. Traveling is my
passion and I strongly feel that there really is nothing more comparable to that
unique smell of a beach, the adventure of a new city, the culture and traditions
of others, the flavors of international cuisines and the sound of an unfamiliar
language. Meeting interesting and diverse people around the world, connecting
with them and learning about their view of life has deeply enriched my knowledge
of people all around the world in a way that words cannot express.
GSMF 2015 Winter Camp was an amazing experience. I was opportune to have fun
with lots of foreign friends. Though I had a little mix up for me after I missed
my bus ride to the ski resort, the barrier was immediately resolved with the help
of Sujin Kwon (one of my best friends) who assisted me and ensured I got to the
Ski Resort. I enjoyed Esthers lecture on Perception, the South Asian game
Kabaddi and Korean game Yut-Nori. I also had immeasurable amount of fun at
Karaoke and bowling. Skiing was so adventurous and fun for me I ended up skiing
into the night. In addition, the photo session at the top of the Mount Blanc was
also fun and interesting. It was sad to leave the camp at the end of our stay
because we had to break up our friendship bonding!
Overall, it was one of the best times in Korea for me.

GSMF MERIT BOARD


GSMF forum has various extracurricular activities organized occasionally for students hence the
participation of students in these events is highly encouraged. To help boost students
involvement in such events, the GSMF SNS committee came up with a brilliant idea to
accurately record and manage records of all individual participants of GSMF activities. Students
with the highest points will be given preference when it comes to been chosen as participants
for special events such as summer camp,
Winter Ski camps amongst others. Three criterias namely Interpretation, Newsletter contribution
and SNS postings are currently been used to evaluate students contributions and the points for
each criteria are 100, 100 and 50 respectively. We urge all GSMF students to actively
participate in all upcoming GSMF activities.
