In his opening remarks, President Seo Geo-seok said, "JBNU is recognized not only for outstanding achievements in research and industry–university collaboration, but also for strengthening student education, and is regarded as the top teaching university in the country," and asked that high school principals in the Jeonju–Wanju region take an active interest so that many students with outstanding potential and passion will apply through the admissions officers system.

Following this, Vice‑President of the Office of Admission Park Jong-min stated, "Through admissions officer‑based admissions, JBNU helps enrolled students integrate their potential, creativity, and passion with their majors so they can develop into outstanding talent," adding, "We are committed not only to high school–university linkage programs but also to follow‑up guidance and management; therefore, we ask principals to actively promote and support the admissions officers system."
