A total of 35 departments participated in the exhibition, each operating its own booth by major, with faculty and graduate students conducting one-on-one personalized counseling sessions. Hyunwoo Shin, a student from the Department of Chinese Language and Culture, said, "Through this exhibition, I was able to gain a lot of information about my major and resolve many concerns about my future career path."


Among the most notable booths at the event were the personal color consulting booth and the perfume-making booth. Participants had the special experience of analyzing their own color palette and discovering which shades, such as warm or cool tones, best suited them. The fact that the personal color analysis, which is typically available only for a fee outside the school, was offered free of charge drew considerable interest.


Through a variety of programs and counseling sessions at this exhibition, students were able to address concerns about their career paths and, furthermore, gain essential information for planning their futures.



In his opening address, Inhan Jeon, Dean of the Graduate School (and Vice President for Academic Affairs) at the University of Seoul, emphasized, "There is a self-deprecating joke that PhD stands for 'Permanent Head Damage.' Let's redefine it as 'Permanently Hungry Doctor'—someone who is always hungry for knowledge." He stated that the most significant legacy of graduate school is not the diploma, but the intellectual hunger that lasts a lifetime.
