Gwangju University Hosts 'Find the Attractions' with International Students

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyukjong) announced on the 7th that it held the ‘Find Gwangju University Attractions’ event, in which international students participated.

This event is a program where students wearing hanbok and language training students take videos and photos in front of spring blossom trees at hidden attractions around the campus and upload them on their SNS to receive souvenirs.

When uploading videos and photos, participants must include the tags ‘#GwangjuUniversity’, ‘#CherryBlossomTree’, and ‘#gwangjuuniversity’, and hanbok was rented free of charge by the Office of International Cooperation.

Last year, due to the impact of COVID-19, many Korean cultural experience events were canceled, so Gwangju University’s Office of International Cooperation held the ‘Find Campus Attractions’ event using personal SNS, which allows mutual communication in online spaces.

In particular, students who could not come to school due to non-face-to-face classes were able to see the campus scenes at a glance, which received a high level of response.

Jeon Jeonghwan, head of the Office of International Cooperation at Gwangju University, said, “This event program, held for the second time following last year, has a high participation rate among international students,” adding, “It seems to have been a meaningful time for them to understand Korean culture and enjoy looking around the campus.”
