Nabila Huda Ibrahim1, Kim Keum Hyun2, Rou Seung Yoan3.
The relevance of the Look East Policy (LEP) after four decades indicates the
success in producing the desired human capital with positive values emulated by both
South Korea and Japan. This study examines the experience of LEP participants as
sojourners during their stay in South Korea for their first degree. Through a qualitative
study, LEP participants shared their experiences and insights into their socio-cultural
adjustment. The results indicate that LEP participants were successfully emulated and
practiced Korean culture. They managed to overcome challenges in adaptation, such as
language, environment, and cultural differences. They demonstrate internalization of
Korean culture and practice in their professional and personal life. The findings indicate
the positive outcome of LEP program for human capital development as participants have
been practicing these values and culture that they learnt from Korea.
