Yesterday was just a start. Start of a festival usually does not have enough students to walk through. Today, May 21, is one of the most popular days in Korea University (KU). Seasoned by the heat of Daedongje yesterday, today’s atmosphere is even festive.                                   

Just outside the 4.18 Memorial building, KU’s student ambassador organization, Yeoul, greets passerby by offering different board games. Other student clubs even sell snacks that students can drench their energized soul just to prepare for the grand final event coming on Friday, the Ipselenti, “Jiya Hamsung” (Roar of Wisdom and Wildness).

Student Union from the College of Liberal Arts has prepared honey juice mixed with fruits as a punch. They named their booth as “Mom-bbae” because one of the famous styles of pants back in the 1980s was called mom-bbae. Shim Hyun Ryong (13, Foreign Languages and Literature), with his wondering eyes, said “It is my first time to experience such lively atmosphere here in KU, and I believe it is even greater that the student union also involved in organizing festivals.”                                                                                                    

Not only are the student-organized booths ready to present much fun and pleasure, but also some enterprise was on the scene. A hair-caring booth prepared by Mise-en-scene, drew huge attention of female students, especially the ones who appeared “desperate” to find her a boyfriend before the semester ends. Kim Ji Soo (13, Political Science and Economics), said “I am delighted that my friends and I can walk around the school and meet various opportunities to have fun regardless of our direction.                                                        

There are over twenty student-organized booths in People’s square. Even in front of the Communications building there are student booths attracting one another. If you are one of KU students, it is a shame that you did not went to one of these booths.
