Professor Hyungwoo Kim of Dongseo University said in the achievement report, "Thanks to the passion of the trainees, the Evergreen Film University was successfully completed," adding, "In particular, the trainees appeared directly in a consumer-participation advertisement for a pharmaceutical company, achieving a meaningful result as it was broadcast."

One trainee shared, "Evergreen Film University gave great vitality to my monotonous life," and expressed gratitude, saying, "I sincerely thank Gijang-gun and Dongseo University for providing quality education and an opportunity to prepare for the second act of life during the difficult times of COVID-19."
