On September 29, the Korea Water Resources Corporation announced that Choi Su-ho, who participated in the Water Technology category at the 48th WorldSkills Competition held in Shanghai, China from September 22 to 27, had won a bronze medal. This marked a consecutive achievement for Korea, following the country's first-ever bronze medal in the same category at the 2024 competition in Lyon, France.
Water Technology was recognized as an official skill in the WorldSkills Competition back in 2019. Since then, the Korea Water Resources Corporation has consistently produced national representatives for each competition. Choi Su-ho showcased exceptional technical skills during the four-day competition, which took place from September 23 to 26.
He successfully completed 13 tasks across four key areas, such as water treatment process operation and design, water quality analysis, equipment maintenance, and automated operation of water treatment processes.
Choi's comprehensive scores and additional points for performance evaluation combined to secure him a tied 3rd place overall. The local judging panel praised his high technical concentration and complete operational ability during the competition. Choi's achievement received strong support from Yun Seog-dae, CEO of the Korea Water Resources Corporation.
In a statement, Yun expressed his gratitude to the delegation for demonstrating Korea's water treatment technology on the world stage through back-to-back medal wins. He announced the corporation's commitment to systematically nurturing skilled technical talents in the water sector to ensure Korea's leadership in the global water industry.
The Shanghai competition featured 1,385 competitors from 68 countries around the world, each competing in their respective skill categories. Korea's impressive haul included 4 gold medals, 14 silver medals, 6 bronze medals, and 16 medals of excellence, with 56 competitors participating in 50 skill categories.
