Newly inaugurated 28th President of the General Alumni Association, Lee Juhyung (Class of 1984, Department of Physical Education), is a professional manager currently serving as CEO of 3KB CUS Co., Ltd. He has served as Vice President of the Alumni Association of Army Officer Candidate School Graduates and as President of the 13th Class Alumni Association, and in 2010 he received the Minister of Knowledge Economy Award. In particular, he was awarded the Hallym University President's Commendation in 2025 in recognition of his contribution to broadening the base of the alumni community through his activities as Senior Vice President of the Hallym University General Alumni Association.

The general meeting was held under the slogan "Connecting Generations, Growing Hallym." During the first part, the Regular General Meeting, reports were presented on the 2025 business performance and settlement of accounts, followed by the presentation of awards for distinguished alumni activities, including the Gangwon Province Governor's Award, the National Assembly Member's Award, and the President of Hallym University Award. In the second and third parts of the event, the retirement ceremony for 27th President Lee Jeongyeol and the inauguration ceremony for 28th President Lee Juhyung were held, and a joint chairperson appointment ceremony for the "50th Anniversary Preparatory Committee" to prepare for the university's future was also conducted, adding further significance.

The newly launched 28th General Alumni Association presented four core strategies: "Financial Stabilization," "Enhancement of Event Quality," "Strengthening Communication," and "Reinforcing Social Responsibility." To realize these goals, the existing organization has been reorganized into a five-department structure consisting of the General Affairs Department, External Cooperation Department, Public Relations Department, Organization Department, and Medical and Nursing Volunteer Department, and board members with expertise in each field have been strategically appointed.

In particular, the newly established "Medical and Nursing Volunteer Department" reflects the association's determination to take the lead in fulfilling the university's social responsibility (ESR) by utilizing Hallym University's strong medical and bio infrastructure to support underprivileged groups in the local community. In addition, the association plans to step up efforts to secure financial independence through the introduction of a CMS, expand scholarship programs for current students, and invigorate networks by club and department.

In his inaugural address, new President Lee Juhyung stated, "Hallym University is leaping forward to become a prestigious private university of global standing, beyond the local community," and added, "During my term, I will unite the capabilities of 50,000 alumni to successfully prepare for the upcoming 50th anniversary of the university's founding and create a virtuous cycle in which our alma mater's innovation becomes the source of alumni pride."
