I fell in love with korean actor lee min ho from his drama City Hunter in 2012, and really wanted to tell him how much I loved him and his acting. However I learned from his fan community on Twitter that his English wasn’t good, so I decided to learn a few korean words so I could at least tell him hello, I love your dramas, can I call you oppa, and can I take a picture?
Little did I know that that simple wish was going to explode into something I never imagined. First I won Best Korean speaker in Nigeria 2020 by KCCN’s Sejong Institute, then went on to become a Korean Teacher, Interpreter, Influencer, and unbelievably, employee of a Korean Government Agency in Lagos Nigeria, working as a Business Development Officer supporting bilateral trade relations and interpreting meetings…
Each time I think about the steps I took and the mocking I had to endure because people called me foolish, I’m filled with gratitude and pride for being true to myself always.
I hope anyone who reads this finds the courage to remain true to themselves and steadfast in their endeavours. I hope besides not minding people, that you actually discipline yourself and focus on what’s important to you, whether it’s learning Korean for BTS or learning French for Mbappe. It doesn’t matter. Please focus 🧘🏽♀️
Also you can DM me for help with learning Korean, French or Spanish (I charge o😭).
I pray for increasing success always. For me and all who dream. Cheers 🥂
