Bangbangrye: Reenacting the Traditional Award Ceremony

On May 20th, SKKU reenacted the "Bangbangrye" with a modern interpretation of a traditional Korean coming-of-age ceremony. Bangbangrye is a traditional award ceremony for the jangwon (first prize winner) of the "gwageo" exam held during the Joseon dynasty. Traditionally, the jangwon would bow toward the king and receive a hongpae (red certificate) along with a eosahwa (royal paper flower).

The midterm exam of the "Sungkyun Analects" course was taken in the traditional gwageo exam format. Students in the "Sungkyun Analects" course took the exam at the end of April. They were instructed to discuss the duties of students based on "Im-Joong-Do-Won" from the Analects.

SKKU evaluated the answers of over 200 students and selected 33 students just like the gwageo exam (Gap: 3 students, Eul: 7 students, Byung: 23 students). The jangwon title was awarded to the top student from the Gap class. After the award ceremony, awardees went around the campus with the eosahwa on their hats.

SKKU designated character education as mandatory courses for all students. "Sungkyun Analects" belongs in this category. All students must complete this course before graduating.
