On Saturday, 12 May 2018, the Korean Australian Young Leaders (KAY Leaders) hosted the 5th Korean Australian Young Professionals' Sports Day at Strathfield Park. The participating teams were KALA, KAY Leaders and the Overseas Korean Trade Association (OKTA). The events included football, basketball, OX quiz, dodgeball, tug of war, chicken fight and the final relay.
KALA were victorious in the football, basketball and the final relay events, which was enough to secure their 4th championship in five years. Thank you to everyone who organised the event and participated and supported Team KALA on the day.
On Friday 23 March, Ken Nam and Hae-Sang Chung come to the Sir Owen Dixon Chambers at the MLC centre to present on working in Korea as Korean Australian lawyers.
Ken works in Herbert Smith Freehills Seoul as a Senior Associate and will speak about the international law firm experience in Seoul that so many of us are curious about.
Hae-Sang has worked as a foreign legal counsel at Hyundai Heavy Industries in Seoul for almost four years and will shed light on his unique experience as an in-house lawyer in one of the largest shipbuilding companies in the world.
The event is a great opportunity for any member interested in gaining an insight into working in Korea. We look forward to seeing you there.
