Cadets Lim Si-yeon (63rd class) and Park Hong-seok (64th class) were selected as outstanding ROTC cadets and received certificates of commendation from the president.

Cadet Lim expressed, “As a proud member of the prestigious Dong-A University 117 ROTC 63rd class, I will do my best to live without regrets during the remaining cadet period.”

Cadet Park said, “I am overwhelmed with joy as I feel I am one step closer to my dream of becoming a soldier. Although I am excited and nervous about my future ROTC life, I will unite with my 64th class peers and strive to further elevate the prestige of Dong-A University 117 ROTC.”

President Lee Hae-woo said at the event, “It is very reassuring to see you all participating in today’s induction and promotion ceremony with such a dignified appearance. I hope the promoted second-year cadets successfully complete the remaining officer training courses and lead the juniors well. For the newly inducted first-year cadets, balancing academics and unfamiliar military training will be difficult and challenging, but I hope you overcome it with strong mental resilience.”
