When Chairman Lee arrived at the scene and went straight to where the Korean national team was gathered, the players stood up and cheered. Chairman Lee congratulated all the players for about 5 minutes by patting their shoulders and shaking their hands, and even took a ‘selfie’ with them. He then personally presented the medals to the players during the awards ceremony. Chairman Lee told the players, “The sweat of young technical talents is the foundation of the technological powerhouse of the Republic of Korea,” and “I will spare no support so that you can be respected and grow as technical professionals without having to go to college.”
