This year’s event was attended by more than 1,500 guests, including Gyeongsangbuk-do Governor Lee Cheol-woo, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Cho Seung-hwan, maritime and fisheries industry officials, and members of the marine and fisheries industries. After a pre-ceremony event featuring performances delivered by the Navy Military Band and Gyeongju-si Municipal Choir, the main event continued with congratulatory videos from both Korea and abroad, commemorative speeches, and other performances.
At the award ceremony, specifically for those who contributed to the development of the marine and fisheries industry, six individuals received medals/citations and Presidential commendations. From Gyeongsangbuk-do, Kwon Jeong-hoon, the former President of the Gyeongju Federation of Advanced Fisheries Leader, received a Presidential commendation.
