Pukyong National University’s Spring Festival in ‘Full Swing’

- Students and Local Community Join Together for Three Days of Celebration, May 27？29

Pukyong National University (President Bae Sang-hoon) successfully held its annual spring festival, the Daedong Festival, over a three-day period from May 27 to 29.

Organized by the Student Council (President Hwang Dong-hyun), this year’s festival was themed “Ode to Youth: Coloring Pukyong from the Start of Youth.” The event was designed as a celebration for both students and local residents to enjoy together.

Various booths set up on the lawn square featured food and interactive programs prepared by different colleges, departments, and majors. Meanwhile, the main field hosted a flea market and an Open Lounge area, offering comfortable spaces for rest and recreation―encouraging wide participation from both students and community members.

The festival’s main stage came alive with a variety of unique and entertaining performances. Students showcased their talents in events such as “Pukyong Singer,” a singing contest featuring celebrity impersonations, “Battle of the Stars,” a talent show with performances by academic departments and student clubs, an electrifying EDM party, and “Visible Radio,” a live communication program held at the radio booth.

The evening concerts featured performances by popular artists: STAYC and Han Yo-han opened the festival on the first day, followed by Apink and Roy Kim on the second day. On the final night, the stage was lit up by acts such as Yudabinband, pH-1, and HAON.

Interactive events also drew enthusiastic participation. These included “Asphalt Chalk Art,” where students drew pictures directly on a car-free street; “Wish Road,” a space to write and share wishes; and “Treasure Hunt Adventure,” a playful search for hidden items across campus.

In addition, international students currently studying at Pukyong National University hosted an “International Day” event, where they introduced their home countries’ traditional cultures and cuisines. Administrative departments also set up booths to promote various student support programs.

Meanwhile, university staff and students worked together to ensure a safe and smooth event by conducting on-site safety monitoring throughout the festival. <Pukyong Today>
