"Creating My Own 5G": Service Idea Contest for University Students Held
Open to all currently enrolled university (or graduate) students nationwide with a total prize pool of 16 million won.
Call for Proposals for New Service Ideas Utilizing 5G Technology
KT, which successfully showcased 5G pilot services at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, is setting out to discover new 5G services together with university students.
KT announced that it will hold the 'Hi Five! 5G Idea Contest' for university and graduate students nationwide.
The theme of the contest is to propose new service ideas utilizing 5G technology, which offers transmission speeds 20 times faster than LTE, response speeds 10 times faster, and support for more than 10 times the large-scale connections. Any student currently enrolled in a university or graduate school can freely present creative ideas or imagination.
This contest was planned to increase the interest and understanding of the younger generation regarding 5G, and to discover ideas that can innovate daily life by applying 5G to various fields, not limited to smartphone services, given that 5G is receiving attention as the foundation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Applications can be submitted individually or as a team through the contest website (https://kt5gidea.com) until May 8, and a total of 16 million won in prize money will be awarded, including 5 million won for the Grand Prize and 3 million won for the Excellence Prize.
In addition, KT provides customized communication programs, such as one-on-one mentoring and presentation coaching, to finalists in this competition. We plan to actively support Generation Y in improving their understanding and capabilities regarding 5G by providing lectures, Q&A sessions, and coaching sessions by KT 5G experts on new 5G technologies that they will encounter in their daily lives.
The evaluation will be conducted based on four criteria: originality, logic, feasibility, and relevance to 5G technology. Finalists will participate in a final presentation at KT Square on May 24 to select the final winners. University and graduate students wishing to participate can download the application form from the contest website and submit it along with their proposal. Real-time inquiries are also available through the dedicated contest office (kt5gidea@gmail.com, 02-539-5050).
Lee Yong-kyu, Senior Vice President of KT's 5G Business Division, stated, "This 5G contest will not be a one-way event where participants simply submit ideas and that is the end; rather, it will be a great opportunity for university students to grow through mutual communication between the company and participants to complement and develop the realism and specificity of their ideas."
