Dear Korea CQ members,
On June 9th, Indonesian ambassador H.E. John Prasetio and his wife Mrs. Alexandra Prasetio invited our members to their residence for Korea CQ Summer Welcoming Gathering & CQ 19 Graduation.
CQ members arrived on time and had catch cup time with a glass of champagne.
H.E. John Prasetio had a welcoming message, and we watched video clips on true charm of Indonesia.
At first, we watched a video on Korea CQ 19 to reflect on what we did during the term and memories shared with CQ 19 members. Then we commenced Korea CQ 19 graduation and an award ceremony.
Mr. Patrick Defranoux, President of Thales Korea, received the diploma on behalf of Korea CQ 19 members. H.E. Arslan Hakan Okcal, Turkish Ambassador, was awarded with Korea CQ Cooperation Award. And Mr. Dong Hoon Park, CEO of Hands BTL Media Group, received Korea CQ Alumni Award. H.E. Elisabeth Bertagnoli, Austrian Ambassador, received the Korea CQ Culture Award. H.E. John Prasetio and Mrs. Alexandra Prasetio received Special Contribution Award. Finally, Mr. Bill Miner, Country Chairman of Chevron, and Mrs. Lissa Miner received the Korea CQ Grand Award.
Congratulations to all of the awardees.
After the award ceremony, we all watched the farewell vide for Country Head of BNP Paribas Joris Dierckx and Freelance Brand Ambassadress Chanel K.K. Japan Beatrice Dierckx. Completing his term, they will leave Korea soon. They first joined us at Korea CQ 14, since then they have done a lot of things together with CQ members. Watching the presentation on memories with Joris and Beatrice, memories CQ members were deeply fond by bringing back precious memories with them.
Right after Mr. James Bemowski, CEO and Vice Chairman of Doosan Corporation, offered a pleasant toast, ‘Warm, Welcome, Wonderful!’, and dinner commenced. H.E. John Prasetio and Mrs. Alexandra Prasetio specially prepared delicious and unforgettable dinner, which our members greatly enjoyed. Moreover, CEO of Maeil Dairies Seon Hee Kim provided opportunities for CQ members to taste a new product of Maeil Dairies, Almond Breeze.
When Beef Rendang and Mie Goreng were served, we shared our members’ good news and congratulated each other. Also we watched video that CICI made for H.E. John Prasetio and Mrs. Alexandra to appreciate their great support to CQ.
As the tasty dinner was coming to an end, we puzzled out quiz. H.E. Vikram Doraiswami, Indian Ambassador who was newly appointed as Indian Ambassador to Korea and has a great interest in Korea was the winner of quiz night.

Mrs. Susan Ling was the first to start by singing, ‘Memory’, then Mr. Christophe Piganiol and Mrs. Susan Ling sang together ‘All I ask of you.’ Mr. Dong Hoon Park sang ‘About the Romance,’ Dr. Ian Jeong sang ‘Beautiful Tonight’, and Mr. Chun Wook Hyun sang ‘Love.’ Moreover, Mr.Bill Miner and Mrs. Lissa Miner sang ‘Arirang’ performed by Eugen Bang, and we were very much fascinated with guitar performance and sweet song by Mr. Joseph Yang. Mr. Chul Kon Tam, Chairman of Orion Group, received Best Performer Award.
And H.E. Rohana Ramli, Malaysian Ambassador, and H.E. Wei Kiat Yip, Singaporean Ambassador were received Best Dresser Awards of the night.
