‘Dokdo, the part of me' University Students Holds Dokdo
- PKNU 321 students participated in 'Hold Dokdo' quatrain competition

Dokdo, the part of mine
How can I ease you from the fear of being stolen
I want to hold you and never let you go
Never ever


△ Shin Yong-Du.
This quatrain is the poem that received the grand prize in "The 2nd PKNU Love Dokdo Quatrain competition" with the subject of holding Dokdo.

The winner was Shin Yong-Du who is a junior in the department of business administration at Pukyong National University. (24 years old)

Mr. Shin expressed Dokdo as 'my part', so he can win the prize with strong affection to protect Dokdo with poem full of love.

This competition is for celebrating Ulleungdo and Dokdo were promoted in status as Uldo Gun in October 25, 1900 as Great Han Empire's forty-first edict. It is also for the promotion of attention to Dokdo, which is a part of our territory,  and awareness of our national home land. 

"I tried to put my will to protect Korea's territory as I have been remiss about Dokdo. I hope our university students will pay more attention to our country and territory, not just focusing on personal things like getting a job or credits," the winner said.

The competition for Pukyong National University students opened from October 17 to 23, and 321 quatrain has been submitted with full of love toward Dokdo. 

Mr. Shin, Kwon Jae-Uk (department of business and administration) and Park Chae-In (Japanese language and literature department) got the first prize, and ten students, including Yang Dong-Ho (English language and literature department), got excellence prizes. For the winners, gift vouchers will be given to thank them for their great literary productivity: a gift voucher of about three hundred thousand won is the grand prize, and a hundred thousand won is for the first prizes, and fifty thousand won is for the excellence prizes. 

Pukyong National University will display the prize-winners in the lobby of the library in Yongdang campus and Dongwon Jang Bogo building in Daeyeon campus where a real-time imaging system of Dokdo is located. <Pukyong Today>
