A total of five speakers will be recruited. Applicants can fill out the application form and submit a video expressing their aspirations on the event page within the Baemin Academy website. The application period is until the 11th of next month. After the screening is completed, selected speakers will be individually notified, and the final selected business owners will receive about one month of lecture coaching through Baemin Academy and Sebasi before taking the stage.

This year’s 4th Soda Day will be held as a real-time online live lecture on November 23rd in accordance with the COVID-19 situation, and audience recruitment will begin on October 23rd. Baek Seon-ung, director overseeing Baemin Academy at Woowa Brothers, said, "In the unprecedented crisis caused by COVID-19, stories of dining industry self-employed individuals finding breakthroughs and overcoming challenges themselves are expected to provide great courage and strength to self-employed people nationwide," adding, "Baemin Academy will continue to provide online and offline education and campaigns that offer practical help to self-employed individuals."
