At this occasion, Chairman Jang Yong-gap of the Gurye Scholarship Foundation said, “The Gurye Dormitory was started by the late Director Hong Won-pyo, who donated his private property out of love for hometown juniors, and has produced over 450 graduates who are fulfilling their roles in various sectors of society. I ask the newly inaugurated chairman and many fellow townsmen to take an interest and affection for the development of the dormitory, and I will continue to support the students' dreams and future.”

Kim Soon-ho, Governor of Gurye-gun, said, “I sincerely thank and congratulate the chairman of the Gurye Scholarship Foundation and the director of the Gurye Dormitory, and the county will also spare no active support so that the dormitory students can devote themselves to their studies and nurture their dreams.”
