Hello, my dear girls from Team 7!

Evgeniia POLUMESTNAIA

My name is Evgeniia but friends call me Jenya. I am from Russia and, contrary to what people think, I don’t like cold weather, or snow for that matter. I was born in a small town in the south of Russia but moved to Saint Petersburg after I finished high school. When I went to university, Korea was not that well known in Russia like it is nowadays. So I was not attracted to Korea by k-pop or k-dramas but by the language itself. At that time, not many people were studying Korean but I really liked the sound of it. For me it was unique how the Korean language combines hard sounds and soft tones. With struggles, sleepless nights but also thrilling moments when I would actually understand Korean, being written or spoken, I finished my bachelor’s degree in Modern Korean Literature. I studied and wrote my final research paper on Park Taewon’s “A day in the life of Kubo the novelist” and found many interesting things and learned about fascinating places in Seoul. As a result, when I came to Korea to do my master’s degree I ended up in Seoul many times roaming the city. I like to visit different parts of Seoul and feel the atmosphere of each street and alley. I like to visit places in Seoul that are not that famous for tourists and I like exploring Korean restaurants and coffee houses. It is really exciting when I meet nice old ladies that are shocked when I order food in Korean, or albasengs that open their eyes wide open and smile when I order café latte. Now I am doing my Master’ degree on education so I look forward to put in practice what I learned so far, I look forward to meet Korean high schoolers and have fun while studying together.
