On November 10, Sijhou Elementary held a surprise-filled online exchange with the elementary school affiliated with Seoul National University of Education in Korea. Through a screen, children from two countries reached across borders and languages and began an unforgettable conversation about culture.
The Korean students opened with a lively, rhythmic traditional percussion performance, and the beat of the drums warmed up the room right away! Next, the two sides took turns introducing famous foods and well-known landmarks from their countries, giving everyone a window into a different way of life.
Then came question time, and the children's curiosity just would not stop! "What's the weather like in Korea right now?" "Which K-pop songs do you like?" "What do Korean won and Taiwan dollars look like?" Every question was a chance to explore.
When the talk turned to K-pop, the exchange hit an unexpected high point: students on both sides jumped up and danced to K-pop together across the screen. Music and dance instantly became a shared language, adding even more energy to the afternoon.
🤣 "Six-Seven!" — a language everyone knows
The biggest surprise came at the very end. A Sijhou student asked, "Do you know Six-Seven?" — and the Korean students answered right away! This internet phrase, a favorite of kids everywhere, had already crossed borders and become something both sides understood.
Together they shouted "Six-Seven!" with the familiar hand gesture, and laughter and cheers filled both classrooms — the happiest possible ending to the exchange.
For Sijhou's children, this was more than a video lesson with another country. It was a valuable chance to speak up bravely, explore on their own and build an international friendship.
Thank you to English teacher Kao Pao-kuei and foreign teacher Ana for making this international exchange possible.

聊到K-pop時，現場更意外掀起一波小高潮！臺韓雙方的孩子即興秀出舞步，隔著螢幕跳起K-pop，音樂與舞蹈瞬間成為彼此共同的語言，也讓交流多了幾分青春與活力。
🤣「Six-Seven！」竟然成了跨國共同語言！
最令人驚喜的橋段，出現在交流尾聲！

雙方興奮地一起喊出「Six-Seven！」，搭配熟悉的手勢，笑聲與歡呼聲此起彼落，也為這場交流留下最歡樂的結尾。
