Kim Do-yoon, who shared in the joy of passing, also spent 8 years building his skills through open recruitment exams. Recalling the tense moments during the third round of testing, Kim Do-yoon said that the bright expression of a colleague ahead of him provided positive energy, allowing him to feel at ease.
