And the winner is...

To make picking the winner easier for everyone involved, we’ve decided to go with the “luck of the draw” method. We don’t want to extend the quiz for another week in search of a winner and burden you with a tiebreaker, thus we'll leave it to…destiny?!

Below is a step-by-step look at how the winner was picked. We didn’t cheat or play favourites, OK?

Step 1: Prepare 11 pieces of paper to write the names down (left).
Since it's Chinese New Year (CNY), we added an orange in the pic to
show that we are in a festive mood (right). Oh, get an empty container
ready too.

Step 2: Write the names of those who are eligible for the prize,
which is a set of Hangeul keyboard stickers, on the pieces of paper.

Step 3: Fold the pieces of paper up and drop them into
the empty container.

Step 4: Put the lid on and...

Step 5:...give it a couple of good shakes (left). Turn it upside down,
if you must (right).

Step 6: Run to Orchid and get her to open the lid and pick the
winner. Orchid says, "화이팅!"

Step 7: And proceeds to pick the lucky winner.

Step 8: And the winner of MYK Quiz 1: The Match Up is...

Step 9: 양생 씨!!!!!!!!!!
