SUNY Korea Student Wins 2025 WeGO Global Youth Award and Earns Admission to KAIST Graduate Program Joonhyeong Kim, a senior in the Mechanical Engineering Department, has received the WeGO Global Youth Award in the Advanced Technology category at the 2025 Global Youth Award Ceremony held at COEX, Seoul on October 1st, an event organized by the World Smart Sustainable Cities Organization (WeGO). WeGO is a youth capacity-building program that helps young people exchange knowledge and develop expertise in urban development, sustainability, and smart cities, with workshops held all over the world, such as in Geneva, New York, Kuala Lumpur, Athens, Milan, Brescia, and Seoul. This program recognizes exceptional young leaders who demonstrate strong potential in shaping the future of smart cities, advanced technologies, net-zero initiatives, social media impact, entrepreneurship, leadership, culture, and more. Joonghyeong Kim has demonstrated strong academic performance throughout his four years at SUNY Korea. Among his numerous achievements, he has been awarded 2nd place in the 2025 IGC Research Showcase, received an Excellence Prize in the Barrier-free Ideathon, and earned Honorable Mention Award in the 2023 IGC Research Showcase. He actively participated in many research labs, completed his 2025 summer internship at POSTECH, and was recognized by many professors in the ME Department for his academic excellence. These accomplishments have culminated in Joonghyeong receiving the Global Youth Award in the Advanced Technology category. Along with his achievement, he will be joining KAIST to pursue his Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering next spring. SUNY Korea congratulates Joonhyeong Kim on these remarkable accomplishments. His recognition with the WeGO Global Youth Award and his admission to KAIST showcase not only his strong academic excellence and potential for advanced research in the field of mechanical engineering, but also SUNY Korea’s role in nurturing the next generation of leaders who will drive innovation in engineering and global collaboration.

SUNY Korea Mechanical Engineering Teams Take Top Honors at 2025 IGC Research Showcase The 2025 IGC Research Showcase was held on May 16 in the IGC Auditorium, bringing together approximately 300 undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professors from all four universities on the Incheon Global Campus (IGC). Participants shared their innovative research through poster exhibitions, presentations, and panel discussions. Among the six awarded teams, the first and second place were claimed by SUNY Korea’s Mechanical Engineering students: Team OneDirection and Team YASRIC First place was awarded to Team OneDirection, comprising of team members Hyoungdong Jin, Aung Ko Khant, Geonwoo Kim, Sunjae Lee, and Yousung Doh. Their project, titled "Directional Audio System for Private Listening Environments Using Resonant Acoustic Damping," focused on delivering sound with high spatial precision while minimizing acoustic leakage. “Our research is centered on creating a directional audio system that provides private listening experiences in shared spaces like libraries and museums,” the team explained. “A key feature is the integration of a passive damping system—specifically, a Helmholtz resonator—embedded in a chair to enhance acoustic performance.” Second place went to Team YASRIC, consisting of Junhyeong Park, Sungwook Choi, Joonhyeong Kim, and Sunghoon Jeong. Their project, "Bulletproof Shield for Urban Counterterrorism Operations with Automatic Movement and Intelligent Target Detection," introduced a robotic system designed for high-risk urban missions. The system includes specialized tracks for stair climbing, a manipulator arm for transporting explosives, and an adjustable tilting bulletproof shield that protects operatives. Its "follow-me" function autonomously tracks the pointman, while AI-driven firearm and facial recognition capabilities enhance operational efficiency and safety. The IGC Research Showcase served as a valuable platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and academic networking among SUNY Korea, George Mason University Korea, Ghent University Global Campus, and the University of Utah Asia Campus
