In his address, Chairman Cho Seongdae welcomed the parents and students participating in the event, stating, "This year, for the first time, the Chairman's Cup Drone Competition has been selected as a competition category specifically for students, rather than being adult-centered."

He continued, "Drones have evolved beyond being a simple hobby or sport to become a core technology leading future industries. In particular, their rapid response has proven invaluable in disaster situations, playing a significant role in saving lives."

Chairman Cho added, "Today, there will be a demonstration match of drone soccer prepared by friends from the Welfare Center for the Disabled.
