Choi said the program also teaches the students about the Chamorro and Carolinian cultures.<\/p>\n<p>The students usually come to Saipan either during summer or winter.<\/p>\n<p>Choi noted that the 13 students hail from all over South Korea and not from one specific school and that they visited Saipan Mayor David M.
