President Kim explained, "Universities are facing a crisis as fundamental questions arise about their necessity amid the significant growth of online education and the decline in the school-age population."

He stated, "Compared to online education, university education in physical spaces must present clear differentiators that can enhance the value of students," and added, "It should be the university's mission to cultivate creativity and problem-solving skills."

He continued, "Universities should provide more experiences and education that offer opportunities to connect knowledge and experience," emphasizing, "There is a need for continuous innovation by educators in educational content, methods, and environments, such as expanding team teaching, and universities must increase their social impact by expanding research functions that solve regional and corporate problems."

On the same day, President Jang Young-su said, "In times of crisis, whether an organization leaps forward or falters depends on the decisions made," and expressed hope that "this special lecture will serve as an opportunity to deeply recognize the reality of universities and to embark on university innovation."
