So, it good to that you start now to find and and contacting the professor, in order to secure your seat in the professor's lab.
*******************************************************
--> What is Korean Scholarship?
In Korea, most of the scholarships are offered by the professors. Professors hire you in the lab and you work on company projects. Projects are based on research and development of products etc of companies. Therefore, your tuition fee, living expenses are paid by the professors using the money of companies.

--> One Important thing: Don't ask to Korean Professors for any acceptance letter as you ask Chinese professors. If you ask Korean Professor for acceptance letter, he/she may not understand. Korean professors acceptance is like a consent of him/her in email, in which he says that he/she will cover your tuition fee and expenses. University admission process do not need it. As you get apply for admission after professor's consent in email. You will mention professor's contacts in admission process/documents. Which university will consider and give you admission on priority. If you get admission, then you will show it to professors who would have promised already to cover your expenses and then you will go to Korea.
It is your hard work and trying. So now it is your turn to work hard on it, so it is all your effort. Just find the professors
IELTS & TOEFL is requirement of many universities but you can try to apply with English proficiency certificate. If you are lucky, then they will accept you without IELTS score. But if deadlines are so far, then you can try to do IELTS or TOEFL. If you have no time, then apply with proficiency certificate and hope for the best
Things to Understand
