Konkuk University Foundation Day

Every year, May 15th is the anniversary of the founding of KU. May 15, 1946, is the day when the founder, Dr. Sang-huh Seok-Chang Yoo, established the university. He believed that it was necessary to cultivate leading talents in order for the liberated Korea to build a valid welfare country and not to suffer the same unfortunate fate again. To commemorate the spirit of the university's founding philosophy of "Sincerity, Fidelity, and Righteousness" and to wish for the university's endless development, a commemorative ceremony is held with the participation of students, faculty, staff, and all alumni and guests.

Konkuk University Festival

On the university's anniversary, the KU Festival, with young intellect and passion, like the fresh green of May, celebrates the establishment of the university and organizes events in various fields, including academics, science, culture, and Art. The event is organized by the Student Association and is the largest student-organized event in which the KU Student Council and all clubs and departments participate.

Fall Art Festival

Every year at the end of October, the Fall Art Festival is held, which, along with the KU Festival, is the mainstay of student events. This event commemorates the significance of the 10-28 KU Uprising. This pro-democracy movement took place on October 28, 1986, and aims to cultivate sound student character and academic culture in a beautiful campus based on the principles of sincerity, fidelity, and righteousness principles. During the Fall Arts Festival, academic and liberal arts events with intellectual and cultural content are held through the creative efforts of various events organized by student clubs and organizations.
