Daegu University hosts Oh Seung-hwan lecture and Genius Scholarship Foundation plaque ceremony

Daegu University announced Monday that it recently invited Oh Seung-hwan, a special-appointment professor, and Jang Gi-jin, chairman of the Genius Scholarship Foundation, for a visit to its Department of Infertility Medical Industry and a special lecture for enrolled students.

On Thursday, Oh and Jang visited the Department of Infertility Medical Industry, housed in the IT College of Engineering, where they toured undergraduate practice facilities and took part in a plaque installation ceremony and nameplate presentation marking the foundation's sponsorship.

Established in 2026 as the country's only specialized department in infertility medical industry, the Department of Infertility Medical Industry has been supported by the Genius Scholarship Foundation since its founding, with the foundation providing scholarships to help students with their studies.

At the plaque ceremony, Jang addressed students, saying, "The path you are walking is a noble and meaningful journey — one that brings the joy of new life and hope to families struggling with infertility." He added, "We will be a firm stepping stone so that you can focus entirely on your studies without financial burden."

Following the departmental visit, a celebrity lecture under the university's "DU Cultural Zone" program was held for about 190 students and faculty members.

Oh delivered a 40-minute lecture titled "Oh Seung-hwan's Mentality," subtitled "It Gets Easier When You Take Responsibility."

After the lecture, a talk-concert format Q&A session was held, with Oh responding to questions students had submitted in advance on Post-it notes displayed on a whiteboard at the entrance to the lecture hall.

"I support your passion for building core competencies for the future — mastering cutting-edge technology and AI-based reproductive medicine — here at the country's only specialized department in infertility medical industry," Oh said.
