This approach received high praise from the judging panel.

Team leader Kim Min-seok expressed, “We are grateful that our team’s idea was highly regarded among many ideas that can contribute to the development of Busan City. I plan to continue my studies in the graduate program of Dong-A University’s Department of Computer Engineering to conduct research that can contribute more technically to the region.”
