That’s pretty good. I can’t imagine what it would take for me to learn the language well enough to give a speech, much less win a contest in Korea. But that’s pretty good.

Is she part Korean?

Her husband is Korean, and she changed her last name to his, but kept her first name, when she took up Korean citizenship. Some central Asians look exactly like Korean, some look like Russians, and many look mixed.

Regardless, winning a public speaking contest in a language other than one’s first language is pretty awesome.
