A 20 year old female employee of McDonald's Korea won second place in the global firm's biennial singing contest dubbed the ``Voice of McDonald's,'' which was held in the United States.

McDonald's Korea said on Friday that Hur Jin had sung Alicia Keys' ``No One'' in a field of 12 semi-finalists and was selected as one of three finalists. In the grand finale, she finished a runner-up, following Chenee Capuyan of the Philippines.

She will bring home $15,000 as well as an iPod touch in prizes. Plus, McDonald's will contribute $1,000 to charity in Hur's name. More than 10,000 McDonald's workers from 119 countries participated in the event.

``I started to work at McDonald's to make money for my dream to study abroad to become a vocal trainer, but I never imagined that I would be able to prove my talent and have it recognized around the world through McDonald's. I want to become a person who can give hope to students who dream of a career in music like me,'' Hur said.



한국 종업원 노래자랑 2위

20세의 한국 여성 종업원이 맥도날드가 전세계 맥도날드 매장 근무자를 대상으로 한 노래자랑인 “보이스 오브 맥도날드”에서 2위를 했다.

맥도날드 한국은 금요일 허진씨가 12명이 겨루는 준결승에서 알리시아 키이스의 “노 원”을 불러 최종 3명에 뽑혔다고 밝혔다. 최종 결승에서 허씨는 필리핀의 체니 카푸얀에 이어 2등을 했다.

허씨는 1만 5,000 달러와 아이포드터치를 상으로 받았다. 그 외에 맥도날드는 허씨의 이름으로 1,000 달러를 자선기관에 기부한다. 119개국에서 1만 여명이 2년에 한 번씩 있는 이번 노래자랑에 참가했다.

허씨는 “돈을 벌기 위해 맥도날드에서 일하기 시작했습니다. 보컬 트레이너가 되기 위해 유학을 가는 꿈을 이루기 위해 돈이 필요했습니다. 그런데 맥도날드를 통해 나의 재능이 입증되고 전 세계에서 인정을 받으리라는 것을 상상도 하지 않았습니다. 저와 같이 음악의 직업을 가지려는 꿈을 가진 학생들에 희망을 줄 수 있는 사람이 되고 싶습니다”라고 말했다.
