As 2015 is reaching its end, the 47th Korea University Student Association (KUSA) is also seeing its end. Meanwhile, some students are already getting ready for 2016. The candidates for next year's KUSA are proceeding their electioneering campaign around the campus.

 

The first candidate team is Go:On, with Shin Hong-Gyu ('13, Sociology) as the main candidate and Seo Dong-Gwon ('11, Biomedical Engineering) as his running mate. Their election pledges are mainly focused on "students' rights, change in the educational system, revitalization and maintenance of the student society, voicing the opinions of the youth, and questioning so-called traditions within the Korea University (KU)".

 

The second candidate team is Byeoljari, with Park Sae-Hoon ('13, Political Science and International Relations) as the main candidate with Ahn So-Hyun ('13, Mathematics Education) as his running mate.
