Kwak, an alumnus from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, class of '84 at Korea University, encouraged his junior alumni by saying, "Sometimes you will break, but arm yourself with a desperate heart and ride the flow of the world." Before his main congratulatory speech, he recited a congratulatory message generated by the generative AI, ChatGPT, emphasizing the need to become talent prepared for the AI era.

Recalling the early 2000s when Hynix Semiconductor (now SK Hynix) was under creditor management, Kwak reflected on the fierce struggle to save the company. He explained that through efforts such as reducing costs and innovating chip design, they were ultimately able to produce competitive DRAM products.

He emphasized, "The value of those who overcame harsh conditions is beyond what we can imagine." He also said, "There was always a way; we just either did not find it or did not look for it," and added, "No matter what difficulties arise, I hope you create a wonderful and happy future of your own with the belief that there is a way to overcome them."
