Vice President Noh Young-wook of Shilla University stated, “In an era of low birth rates and aging population, the senior generation is a key consumer group leading the future cultural industry, and senior models, who are expected to be active in various fields such as advertising models, show hosts, actors, and academy instructors, will become one of the promising occupational groups.”

He continued, “The Grace Model Course of Shilla University’s Department of Future Convergence provides adult students who dream of and challenge themselves to become senior models with an educational curriculum that lays the foundation for their second life planning, helping them find diverse charms and self-identity by strengthening practical stage experience and professional capabilities.”
