Baemin Riders School, the country's first specialized motorcycle training institution operated by Baedal Minjok, has received several prestigious architecture awards both domestically and internationally.
On November 1, Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baemin, announced that Baemin Riders School was awarded the 'Korean Architects Association Award' at the 49th Korean Architects Association Awards ceremony held at BEXCO in Busan on October 31.
Established in 1979, the Korean Architects Association Awards are considered the highest honor in the country, recognizing the contributions of architects, clients, and builders. This year's winners were selected by a panel of five experts from the architecture and academia fields over a two-month period from August to September.
Baemin Riders School was also recognized as an award-winning educational building in the architecture design category at the 2026 Architecture MasterPrize (AMP). The AMP is a global architecture design award hosted by the Parmani Group in the United States, which honors outstanding works in architecture, landscape, and interior design each year.
Baemin Riders School began its journey in 2018 with a 'Professional Rider Training Program' offered through external institutions. In May 2021, it secured a training space in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, marking the official launch of its in-house training programs.
Last year, Baemin Riders School expanded its facilities in Hanam, Gyeonggi Province, constructing a three-story building with a total floor area of 8,000 square meters. The entire facility is designed as an indoor space equipped with specialized infrastructure for motorcycle safety training. In February of this year, a memorandum of understanding was signed at the school involving the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment and various delivery platforms.
Kim Beom-seok, CEO of Woowa Brothers, stated, "It is meaningful that Baemin's efforts for rider safety have been recognized not only in educational outcomes but also in the architectural quality of the space. We will continue to enhance Baemin Riders School to ensure that more riders receive safety training in a systematic environment."
