Two design students from Kookmin University have won the prestigious Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2026 for their innovative insulin pen design, the university said Monday.
The winners are Kang Ha-neul and Lee Min-seo, both students in the Department of Industrial Design. They were recognized for their project called “INSPO.”
INSPO was first presented at an exhibition co-organized by the product design clubs of Kookmin University and Konkuk University in spring 2025.
Kookmin University said the award is meaningful as it demonstrates international recognition of design ideas developed by students through club activities and exhibitions.
