According to Jeonju Industrial High School, the first (April 26-30) and second evaluation rounds (July 1-5) to select the national representative for automotive repair at the 48th International WorldSkills Competition to be held in Shanghai, China next year have recently concluded. Kim Daesung secured his spot as the final national representative based on his outstanding skills during these evaluations.

Kim, who graduated from Jeonju High School in February 2024, has been steadily honing his automotive repair skills since his high school days. In particular, he was recognized for his skills when he won second place in the national vocational skills competition for automotive repair in 2023.

Furthermore, Jeonju High School student Cho Mingyun, who won first place in the automotive repair category at the national vocational skills competition in 2024, also participated in the national representative evaluations and secured second place. He has been selected as a standby member of the national team and will now focus on intensive training for future competitions.

In addition to this selection, Kim Daesung is also scheduled to participate in joint training in the Asian region at the Incheon Global Skill Development Institute in mid-July. This training will involve teams from Indonesia and Uzbekistan, and is expected to enhance international technical exchange and practical skills.

Jeonju High School Principal Oh Honghak stated, "Our school has consistently produced outstanding talent in the automotive field," and added, "This achievement is once again proof of the competitiveness of regional technical education. We will continue to do our best to cultivate future technical talent."
