Seung Jin affirmed the importance of this contest. "Throughout history, Korea and Vietnam have had excellent literary works of value in each period. The contest was organized to introduce the unique features of Korean literature and an opportunity to help young people study the Korean language and culture.”

At the contest, 14 university teams recreated impressive skits of one of Korean literary works through a 15-minute drama.

Each team's competitions are judged based on four criteria: the chemistry of the team members, the message conveyed by the skit, the creativity, and the overall success of the performance.
