This competition was organized to raise children's safety awareness and enhance their disaster response skills. Participating students tested their knowledge through OX quizzes, multiple-choice, and short answer questions on essential daily safety topics, including fire safety, traffic safety, everyday safety, and infectious disease prevention.

After fierce competition, Kim Jihoo, a 6th-grade student from Ugok Elementary School, won the gold prize, earning the title of Goryeong County's top child safety expert. The silver prize went to Kang Jihwan, a 5th-grade student at Dasan Elementary School, while the bronze prize was awarded to Seok Hyunseung, also a 5th-grade student at Dasan Elementary School. The encouragement prizes were presented to Yun Dagyeong, a 5th-grade student, and Heo Sieun, a 6th-grade student, both from Dasan Elementary School.

In addition, the top 30 students from the preliminary round will represent Goryeong County in the '2026 Gyeongsangbuk-do Children's Safety Golden Bell Semifinal,' where they will compete in safety knowledge against students from across the province.

Goryeong County expects that this competition, structured as an interactive quiz-based educational experience, will help children naturally learn safety rules and serve as an opportunity to spread a culture of practicing safety in daily life.

Namcheol Lee, Mayor of Goryeong County, said, "I hope this event provided a meaningful and enjoyable opportunity for children to learn about safety. We will continue to expand safety education and preventive activities to ensure Goryeong County becomes a safe place where children can grow up with peace of mind."

Safety is not something to be learned after an accident, but rather a habit formed by repeated practice from an early age as part of daily life. Experiential education programs like the Safety Golden Bell are expected to be the foundation for a strong culture of safety among children.
