He said, "I hope every child can live in a joyful and happy environment," adding, "Through the Century Goal project, I want to raise awareness about the importance of the environment and sustainability, find solutions together, and move toward the future. This is the goal I want to achieve."

The event was held in a talk show format for one hour, hosted by football content YouTuber Choi Jun-woo. Jeonbuk Hyundai player Cho Gyu-sung also participated. About 300 employees who applied in advance and were selected by lottery attended in person, while those who could not participate joined online.
