24 Participants, Child Park Somi Wins Grand Prize

Somi Park, a child student at Neuriul Elementary School 5th grade in Daejeon, participated in the ‘3rd Kids Artist’ cultural experience program with children hosted by Bodyfriend in May to celebrate Family Month. In line with the theme ‘I am also an eco-friendly artist,’ she creatively expressed animals using PET bottles, plastic spoons, and other materials, presenting a work that stood out for its clear thematic awareness and high level of completion. It is said that the work carries the meaning of protecting the Earth's environment so that animals, plants, and humans can coexist in a clean nature.

On the 7th, Somi Park was named the grand prize winner in the drawing contest announced by Bodyfriend. The judging panel was unanimous. The judges included Yeom Ilsu, head of the Bodyfriend Design Research Institute, along with executives in charge of design and content. The main judging criteria were theme suitability, creativity, completeness, and diligence.

The gold prize went to Se-eun Park (Ilwon Elementary School 2nd grade), the silver prize to Seohyun Kim (Sangmyung University College of Education Attached Kindergarten, age 6) and Yujun Lee (Gunmun Kindergarten, age 7), and the bronze prize to Kyumin Park (Neuriul Elementary School 2nd grade, Daejeon), Minhoo Jung (Singa Elementary School 1st grade), Haru Kim (Jeongnam Elementary School Attached Kindergarten, age 7), and Haru Lee (age 6). The winners received prizes such as Bodyfriend Amigo massage chairs, Aire massage beds, W water purifiers, and mini guns.

Bodyfriend held this contest in May. To help understand the eco-friendly project, participants had a time to create their own recycled works using recyclable materials such as PET bottles, milk cartons, snack boxes, and egg cartons. The 24 children who participated joined the contactless drawing contest by uploading their works on Instagram.

A Bodyfriend official said, “We planned this program so that children can easily recognize and practice ‘eco-friendliness’ in their daily lives, and the response from participating customers and children was positive. Many high-quality works born from the children’s infinite imagination were submitted, and we carefully selected the winners. We congratulate all the children who won.”
