About 500 people joined the chat room during the broadcast held to communicate with students. Prizes such as AirPods, iPads, Galaxy Watches, Xiaomi Bands, and cultural gift certificates were given through a drawing among the information search contest participants. Mobile coffee coupons were also provided through surprise quizzes to students who participated in the broadcast that day.
