This year marks the 9th 'University Admission Prayer Bell-Ringing Event,' which is being held for the first time in three years due to COVID-19.
The event will proceed with a total of 66 students and their families writing wish notes and placing them in a wish box, followed by bell ringing at noon. The wish notes are written on traditional Korean paper (hanji) with calligraphy by three volunteers from the Korea Arts Bank, containing prayers for admission success.
The wish notes placed in the wish box will be kept at Bosingak until the day of the CSAT. Every day at noon, the sound of the Bosingak bell will be played to pray for the students' success in entering their desired universities.
Participants in the bell-ringing will ring the Bosingak bell, touch the bell to pray for success, and after the event, receive a bell-ringing certificate issued by the Mayor of Seoul along with a commemorative photo.
