Dong-A University (President Lee Haeu) announced on the 18th that Professor Lee Shinyoung from the Department of Fashion Design has received the "34th Excellent Paper Award in Science and Technology" presented by the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.

The Excellent Paper Award in Science and Technology by the Federation is established to select scientists and engineers who have published outstanding papers through creative research activities, in order to boost research motivation and morale, enhance the research atmosphere, and contribute to the advancement and modernization of science and technology.

It is considered a prestigious award, given to outstanding researchers who have contributed to national development and welfare, through a rigorous review of papers recommended by over 400 science and technology-related academic societies.

This year's awards targeted excellent papers published in domestic journals in 2023, with each society recommending two papers after internal review, followed by a professional evaluation and competition by the Federation to select and award the excellent papers in science and technology.

Professor Lee received the Excellent Paper Award in the comprehensive field of science and technology for her paper, "A Study on the Analysis of the Semantic Structure of Perceived Attributes of Hanbok Images Before and After COVID-19 Using Big Data," published in the journal of the Korean Society of Costume.

This research, supported by the Mid-Career Researcher Support Program (2019-2022) of the Humanities and Social Sciences Academic Support Project of the National Research Foundation of Korea, is expected to be utilized in the development of future traditional cultural content and related research and policy by revealing the changing patterns of Hanbok images and the semantic structure of perceived attributes.

Professor Lee stated, "I am honored to receive such an undeserved award," and added, "I will strive to work even harder in research and to contribute to education and society."

Professor Lee is currently serving as the Deputy Director of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Division at Dong-A University and as the President of the Korea Fashion Formative Arts Association. She has received the Excellent Paper Presentation Award at the Autumn Academic Conference of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles (2023), the Excellent Paper Presentation Award at the Spring Academic Conference of the Korean Society of Costume (2024), and her book "Fashion Illustration for Drawing Beginners" was selected as the "2022 Excellent Book of the Year" by the Korea University Press Association.
