On September 22, 2026, while in Germany for a Korea.net assignment, I received the written interview responses from the Korean School of Luxembourg by email. Reading them during a free moment, what struck me immediately was their simplicity and sincerity. No complicated phrases, no overly formal formulas: the school spoke honestly about its work, its students, and the role it plays in Luxembourg.
