The audience of about 200 people was very impressed by learning from speeches that even though they had, right after their arrival in Japan, difficult times facing with language barrier and the difference in cultures and lifestyles, they had been overcoming these over time. There were also several candid opinion and advice expressed by them over the general public of Japan and they received favarable response from the audience.
After sincere and warm-hearted comment was given to each of speakers by judges, result of judgement for selection was announced. The Best Award was presented to Ms Kim Min Kyong for her speech titled Difference Between Korea and Japan, and the Audience Award was presented to Ms Kuril Jyoty for her speech titled Road To Friendship.
