Vice Leader Choi Haein said, “It is an honor to receive an award for the efforts of Cheongkkaeguri members, including myself, who worked hard. I will strive for even more valuable experiences.”

Following this, Vice Leader Oh Chaeyoung expressed, “I am happy to receive such a meaningful award while gaining various experiences with the Cheongkkaeguri members.”
