He said "Although a number of promising small companies are located in Gyeongsan, local college students don't know the fact that they have more chances to get decent jobs in this area". He added, "Students only want to work for the major companies, not the promising small and medium-sized businesses"
President Seo also pointed out that "If the company you work for is aware that it cannot develop without cherishing the value of its employee’s benefits and adequate sharing, you can persue your dream regardless of its size."
