The Daedongje festival, organized by the National Pukyong University Student Council (President Hwang Donghyun), was held under the theme "Ode to Youth: Coloring Pukyong from the Beginning of Youth." It was an event where students and local residents could enjoy the festivities together.

At each booth set up on the lawn plaza, colleges, departments, and majors offered food and event programs. In the main stadium, a flea market and an open rest area were operated, providing spaces for relaxation and encouraging participation from both students and local residents.

Unique performance programs were held on the stage. Students enjoyed the festival through events such as "Pukyong Singer," a singing contest where participants imitated famous singers; "War of the Stars," a talent show featuring performances and competitions by departments and clubs; an EDM party for electronic music enthusiasts; and "Visible Radio," an interactive radio booth.

The lineup of invited artists included STAYC and Han Yo Han on the first day, Apink and Roy Kim on the second day, and Yudabin Band, pH-1, and Kim Haon on the third day.

Participatory events also received positive responses. Activities such as "Asphalt Chalk Art," where participants drew pictures with chalk on car-free streets; "Wish Road," where people wrote and shared wishes; and "Exciting Treasure Hunt," where hidden treasures were sought, drew much attention.

In addition, international students currently enrolled at National Pukyong University held an "International Day" event, introducing their home countries' traditional cultures and cuisines. Administrative departments also set up booths to introduce a variety of student support programs.

National Pukyong University supported the safe operation of the festival by having staff and students conduct safety guidance activities.
