#TeamGoodBoy encourages the Filipino youth to innovate and come up with solutions that can help address the nation’s problems. Kim Seon-ho, K-Drama star and Globe’s latest ambassador, invites students, young professionals, and entrepreneurs to join the country’s first and biggest 5G Hackathon by Globe. This will be held in cooperation with De La Salle University’s Animo Labs.
The 5G Hackathon by Globe
In the 5G Hackathon by Globe, there will be a series of workshops and mentorship aimed to improve the skills of young people. Hopefully, these events will help steer their mindset towards future goals.
“Join this year’s 5G Hackathon by Globe so you can develop the uses of 5G in different sectors of the Philippine economy and society,” Seon-ho said.

5G for Society – Education, Health Care, and Livelihood
To improve patient health monitoring and provide remote consultations, address mixed learning gaps, and opportunities. Will also enhance ways of working for Filipinos’ current livelihood such as farming, fisheries, and the like.
5G for Industries – Retail, Manufacturing, Logistics, E-Commerce
To increase the efficiency of different sectors through wide-scale artificial intelligence (AI) automation and internet of things (IoT). Improve customer experience and satisfaction through personalized real-time customer insights.
5G for Smart Cities – Disaster risk management, Sustainability, Asset and Resource Management, Transportation
To transmit and process real time information to solve traffic, urban planning, disaster risk, and other issues.
“Instead of looking for answers, make choices,” this is one of Ji-pyeong’s famous lines from the K-drama, Start Up. It matches his encouragement for the youth to be part of the 5G Hackathon and to start turning their ideas and dreams into reality.
Seon-ho recently won the hearts of many and gave almost everyone the ‘second lead syndrome’ when he starred as Han Ji-pyeong in Start-up. The show featured young entrepreneurs who held onto their dreams and made it to Korea’s high-tech industry.

At the 5G Hackathon by Globe, winning teams may get as much as P500,000 at the end of the competition. They will also have the chance to be part of Globe’s 917Ventures’ Velocity venture builders program. This will allow them to work directly with the Globe 5G Acceleration Lab.
