Last year, the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL) launched the competition to find talented young speakers who had recently taken Cambridge English exams in Asia. Rhee will have the chance to impress judges with her public speaking skills at the event in Cambridge on July 5 at Robinson College.

Other finalists will travel from Hong Kong, Vietnam, China, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan.

Two overall winners will be awarded an MBA scholarship at the London School of Business Finance or a Diploma in Business scholarship at the University of Tasmania in Australia.
