Hi Jinwoo, I think the issue is you have the blur radius set to '0px', when the challenge asks for it to be set to '0', if you change that value, the code should work :)

to add on to Grace's comment, whenever you are setting something to a value of 0, the measurement in which you are doing that (px, em, rem, inch, etc...) is irrelevant. Always just set it to 0. This might read like ;

text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
