Nighttime video content featuring the Ungbi tower catches the eye

- a white whale and the four seasons, the symbols of the university captured to express the prestige and identity of the centennial of its founding

A newly created Ungbi tower at the rotary within the Daeyeon campus of Pukyong National University is attracting attention with its nighttime video content.

Pukyong National University recently began screening 'Glorious Pukyong', a content piece that expresses the prestige and identity of the university's 100th anniversary through illuminating video projections on the Ungbi tower facade.

The Ungbi tower was established following the collective opinion from the alumni association, which suggested having a symbolic monument to commemorate the 100th anniversary. It was funded through the monument construction support development fund, raised by alumni and university members. The name of the tower is inherited from the Ungbi stone tower, established in front of the Mirae building in 1987.

The tower symbolizes the university's high status and progressive spirit reaching out to the world. Designed with a hand encircling the globe atop a compass-shaped base, it embodies the school motto, 'the Future is in our hands'.

At the top of the tower, the globe is installed upside down to signify that Korea is not the end of the land but the beginning of the sea, encouraging the expansion of our stage from this campus to the vast ocean.

The nighttime video content 'Glorious Pukyong', screened through the Ungbi tower, also embodies this symbolism. It expresses the historical significance of the university's centennial with our university slogans and commemorative phrases, and it depicts the spirit of exploring infinite freedom and true truth through the image of the university symbolic animal, the Baekyong (white whale), swimming.

Additionally, the video captures the splendid four seasons of the campus by vividly and fantastically portraying the seasonal trees, including cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, in a variety of colors.

These videos are screened daily at 8:00 PM, 9:00 PM, and 10:00 PM for ten minutes each. <Pukyong Today>
