    From May 24th to May 27th, Dongguk University was filled with joy and laughter celebrating its spring festival of the year, “Bomkkiri Festival.”

   The name “Bomkkiri Festival” was given for the first time which represents Dongguk University’s spring festival. Its meaning is having fun in spring with the elephants, the symbol of Dongguk University, and your beloved friends. “We wanted to give students a break to look back their schooldays,” said Jo Seong-woo, the vice chairperson of the GSC.

   On the first day of the festival, the school set rides in the campus such as the bumper car and the euro bungee. The next day, four student teams showed a performance in a talent show. Also, Mad Clown and Jang Ki-ha and the Faces had a special performance. On the third day, there was another main stage produced by the Club Association and 9MUSES and LovelyZ came as special guests. Lastly, on the fourth day, a giant play zone was opened at Manhae Square.

   During the festival period, various booths were ran by Donggukians. Hu Xin-tian (Senior, Information Communication Engineers) from China ran a pub, selling lamb skewers and Chinese traditional liquor, the Tsingtao Beer. She said, “This year is my fourth time to run a pub and every time I feel happy to share my home dish to Koreans. These experiences also made me proud of my country.”
