Seongheon Lee, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, Promotes Sinchon University Culture Festival to University Newspaper Reporters

Lee Seong-heon, the mayor of Seodaemun District, held a meeting with reporters from major university newspapers on the morning of the 30th in the district office conference room to promote the ‘Sinchon Global University Culture Festival,’ which will be held for the first time this year.

About 10 reporters from university newspapers attended, including those from local universities such as Kyonggi University (Kyonggi University News), Myongji University (Myongji Newspaper), Yonsei University (Yonsei Chunchu), Ewha Womans University (Ewha University Newspaper), as well as from nearby Sinchon universities like Sogang University (Sogang Hakbo) and Hongik University (Hongdae Newspaper).

The mayor asked them to “take great interest in this cultural content exchange platform involving young university students from around the world,” and added, “I hope the festival will be widely publicized on campuses through university newspapers so that more students can participate together.”

During the meeting, a dialogue between the mayor and the university newspaper reporters continued under the theme of ‘Youth City Seodaemun.’

The 2023 Sinchon Global University Culture Festival will be held for four days from September 14 to 17 across the Sinchon area, including Yonsei-ro, Star Plaza, Myeongmul Street, and Changcheon Culture Park.

The festival will involve domestic university students, international students, embassy officials from various countries, and visitors from home and abroad.

In particular, a working council and central planning team composed of students from six local universities are proactively preparing the event under the catchphrase ‘Global Wave, Sinchon Vibe,’ drawing attention to youth-centered festival content.
