"Safety Flags for Delivery Riders", June 2022 - Winner Award
"I saw in an article that a delivery rider got hit by a huge truck due to the differences in heights. Surprisingly, this accident happened on the crossroad in front of our house. Looking at the shocking outcome of a simple problem of a blind spot, I thought: If only the motorcycle was easier to see, wouldn't this problem be fixed?
Therefore, I designed an attachable flag for motorcycles. The flags have conspicuous and vibrant colors and images, but has a simple shape so that it doesn't block the view of the other cars. I hope that this design can ensure the safety of not only deliverymen, but those who ride electric scooters, too."

"Child Abuse Prevention Stickers", June 2021 - Winner Award
"While watching the news on TV, I realized that many children are being abused by their parents. It was so unfortunate and I felt sorry for the children. So, I tried to think of a design to prevent child abuse. Then, I decided to create stickers that bring awareness to the public.
The stickers have drawings of children and numerous phrases that bring consciousness. The sticker uses safe and natural materials, velcro tape, and buttons, so that people can attach to children's objects.
If you stick the stickers on objects like clothes, bottles, shoes, or bags, it gives awareness about this issue to the general public. I hope that people know that child abuse is an urgent issue and that child abuse can be prevented by attaching the stickers in frequently-used places like schools and dayschools."

"AI Styling Mirror", June 2020
"When I go out, it's often hard to choose clothes according to the weather and situation. It also takes a long time to decide on the right style. When you try on some clothes several times, it's chaotic and ruins your hair. There are also times when I thought the outfit looks good, but when I wear it, it doesn’t meet my expectations. So, I thought it would be a great idea to design an AI closet that coordinates your clothes for you. You can take pictures of clothes with a smartphone or a closet camera and save them.
So you can easily find many clothes and compare them in various ways. You can see the clothes in advance through the video, so it's good to coordinate them in the style you want. Depending on the style, weather, and purpose of going out, AI recommends styling. It also has a smart function. When the screen is turned off, it can also be used as an ordinary mirror."

"We have huge Halloween events each year at school. Whenever these events take place, most of my friends dress up as zombies, vampires, princesses, or some other foreign characters. Although Halloween did originate from foreign countries, I wanted to introduce Korean culture through Korean Halloween costumes. I learned that Korea has many scary and funny ghosts and monsters, and that our ancestors often dressed up as these characters to dance and sing. So, I thought it was a good idea to apply this culture to our school's Halloween events introducing Korean characters to international friends."

"Seoul! Seoul! Seoul! Card Game", June 2018 - Special Award
"I have traveled to many different countries like America, Japan, Finland, and Hong Kong with my family. But I soon realized while talking to my friend that I haven't traveled much in Seoul, which is where I live. I also noticed that because I go to an international school, many of my friends didn't know much about Seoul. I think I was able to become more familiar with Seoul while researching and making it into a card game.
I selected 18 famous places in Seoul and made cards for each of these places. I included drawing and a short description of the places. Then, I did a survey with my friends about which place they wanted to go most, and gave the places a score from 1 to 6. Instead of stars or numbers, I drew Korean traditional patterns to show the scores. With these cards, you can learn about famous places in Seoul, and play games with the number of patterns."
