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

[Student Reporter] FIT x Dior: A Two-Part Experience Following Luxury, Legacy, and Innovation This May, a group of FIT students at SUNY Korea had the opportunity to go on a two-part field trip in collaboration with the global luxury house Dior. Created to increase their understanding concerning the Dior brand identity, immersive retail experiences, and strategic marketing, the trip provided both a public showcase and a special behind-the-scenes perspective on how Dior continues to lead in the world of luxury fashion. The trip began on May 11, with a visit to the Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition, held at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). The exhibition, which has toured across cities such as London, Paris, and Shanghai, arrived in Seoul for a showcase running from April 19 to July 13, 2025. With its thematic focus on flowers, gardens, and lavish balls, the exhibition showcases the creative legacy and strong identity the House of Dior has continued to build upon for decades. Students explored the venue, immersed in haute couture creations, archival designs, and multimedia displays – a window into Dior’s artistic evolution throughout the years. The exhibition was followed by an exclusive visit to the Dior Seongsu store on Friday, May 16. Praised by LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault for its architectural beauty and innovative concept, students gained insight into what a successful concept store looks like, from design to location curation. The visit included a 30-minute guided tour of the space, which places Dior’s identity within a uniquely Korean context. FIT students then had the pleasure of sitting down with Dior’s Marketing Director, who led an intimate Q&A session complete with refreshments from Dior’s private café. Topics ranged from the brand's process in developing the Seongsu concept store to the specific responsibilities and challenges of luxury marketing leadership. For students aspiring to careers in luxury fashion, retail, or marketing, the Dior collaboration was both memorable and deeply instructive. It offered a rare opportunity to witness luxury branding in action and engage directly with industry professionals – enriching their understanding and sparking new inspiration. With Dior to look up to as a leader in storytelling, design, and consumer engagement, FIT students left the experience inspired and ready to shape the future of fashion with the same visionary spirit of beauty and innovation.

[Student Reporter] FIT Korea to Join Chiba University for Wearable Design Workshop [Wearable Design Workshop Orientation] International connections are being fostered this semester for Fashion Business Management students at SUNY Korea, who are set to take part in an international workshop at Chiba University’s Design Research Institute in Sumida, Tokyo, from April 22nd to 26th. This collaboration aims to mix fashion with the digital world, focusing on sustainable pathways to communicative, wearable technology. Dubbed “Wearable Design for Social/Emotional Communication,” students are being brought together to create wearable fashion prototypes that merge technology such as sensors and LED lights to explore new forms of communication. FIT students will conduct research over a span of five days in Tokyo, expanding their knowledge concerning communication and sustainability via technology through various activities: Day 1: Orientation and campus tour. Day 2: Special Lectures from FIT Korea, discussions on human interaction, and fieldwork. Day 3: Curating ideas, business model introduction, and digital prototyping. Day 4: Creation of prototypes, and testing. Day 5: Final presentations and feedback from faculty and experts. This collaboration between FIT SUNY Korea and Chiba University aims to prepare students for the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchanges they’ll encounter in their professional lives, while also equipping them to meet the rapidly changing demands of the fashion industry—as fabric and design are further explored through a technological and global lens. As this research project continues, watch how interdisciplinary exchanges will shape innovation, fashion, and design of the future.
