Telecommunications & Media
The Broadcasting Media and Communications Commission held the "2026 Digital Ethics Golden Bell Championship" on Nov. 7 at the Snowflake Plaza Hall at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul with the National Information Society Agency (NIA), it said on Sunday.
Digital Ethics Golden Bell is a participatory educational programme designed to help elementary school students understand various problems that can arise in digital environments through quizzes and learn proper usage habits. This year marked its fourth edition.
The commission held preliminary rounds from June to October for 2,136 fourth- to sixth-grade students at 17 elementary schools nationwide. A total of 51 students with top scores at their schools advanced to the championship round.
Participants tested their knowledge by solving questions on digital ethics, including proper use of AI, deepfakes, disinformation and cyber violence.
Fifth-grader Yoon-woo Seo (서윤우) of Bujeong Elementary School in Busan was selected as the last remaining contestant and won the grand prize. Sixth-grader Chaemin Yeon (연채민) of Bibong Elementary School in North Chungcheong Province and fifth-grader Yeon-ho Jo (조연호) of Jaun Elementary School in Daejeon received excellence awards.
Seo said: "I really didn't think I would be the last remaining contestant, but I am truly happy to get such a good result." She added: "I will not forget the digital ethics I learned through this competition, and I will use AI responsibly as well."
Ahead of the quiz competition, a "Digital Ethics Empathy Talk Concert" featured Park Kang-hoon (박강훈) and Kim Jin-il (김진일) from the YouTube channel "Pappuri". They shared examples and experiences of using AI in everyday life with students.
Commission Chairman Jong-cheol Kim (김종철) said: "As the use of AI becomes part of everyday life, it is becoming even more important for young people to use digital technology properly and develop a responsible attitude toward its use." He added: "We will continue to promote related education so that young people can learn digital ethics easily and enjoyably and put it into practice in their daily lives."
