During the time when professors such as Yang Ju-dong, who called himself a 'national treasure level,' and Seo Jeong-ju, famous for poems like 'Beside the Chrysanthemum,' were working, Dongguk University's Korean Literature Department was renowned as a prestigious institution.

Moreover, Jo Jung-rae, a novelist considered a 'national treasure level' among living novelists with works like 'Taebaek Mountain Range' and 'Han River,' is also a Dongguk University alumnus.

Reflecting this atmosphere, six public officials from Dongguk University are in charge of promotional work in Seoul's autonomous districts, drawing attention.
