Da-bin Shin, a senior from the Department of Industrial Design, participated in an internship for Seoul Metropolitan Government proceeded together by the Human Resources Development Center of Sookmyung Women's University and Seoul City. During her internship, she has gained attention for creating 6 new characters for the Seoul Research Institute of Public Health and Environment. These characters will promote the public health and environment of the citizens.
Shin took charge of working for Public Relations while taking the Seoul Government Internship program during her last winter vacation. While taking the internship program, she proposed the renewal of the original characters and designed it herself.
There are 6 types of characters she created including ‘BO HWAN’ which represents the researchers and facilitates lively communication, ‘GAR DI’ from the field of disease, ‘LOO MI’ from the field of atmospheric environment, ‘FOO DI’ from the field of food safety, ‘AH RI’ from the field of water environment, ‘ME DI’ from the field of medicine. The names of the characters were chosen by the help from citizens and city officials through a public contest last February, which makes the names even more meaningful.

Shin said, “I thought that my work as an intern would be limited, but I was able to achieve successful results by having a sense of responsibility. My understanding of work and cooperation greatly improved, and I was able to specify my career. I want to thank Sookmyung Women’s University and the Seoul Human Resource Development Division for giving me this opportunity.”
She also added that it would be great to see other students take active parts in various programs at Sookmyung Women’s University, and pave their way for more opportunities. Due to her outstanding achievements including the character creations, Shin was chosen as the excellent intern and was awarded the mayor’s commendation.
