The event drew attention as an opportunity for young people from both countries to share different perspectives and present innovative ideas.

Sora Kyogoku and Aoi Yoshino from Kansai Gaidai University drew attention by presenting an "experiential program (You See No Bubbles But Yours) that encourages participants to constantly question and reflect on their own beliefs." The prize winners received the Dean's Award from Dongmyung University's College of Media.

Lee Jeongki, head of Dongmyung University's Department of Advertising and Public Relations, said, "Through this exchange event, students were able to gain experience analyzing problems and proposing solutions from various perspectives," adding, "We will further expand exchanges with Kansai Gaidai University to enhance our students' problem-solving abilities."
