"Having Crazy Fun~ Joint Festival ‘KUlue Marble' by the Business School X Interdisciplinary Studies"

On May 20th, the joint rooftop festival 'KUlue Marble', organized by the Business School (Dean = Kim Sang-yong) Student Council and Interdisciplinary Studies Department Student Council, took place in the lawn in front of the Business Administration Building and the Hyundai Motor Business Building. 'KUlue Marble' is a compound word of the abbreviation for Korea University, 'KU', and the Korean board game 'Blue Marble', which was first released by Korea Seed in 1982. Like the board game Blue Marble, it featured various booths, pubs, and festivals. 

Firstly, various booths were operated during the day. Students from classes A~E of the Business School and the Business School Student Ambassador KUBE organized the event, and as the sun set, the pubs officially opened. At the pubs, students from classes A to E of the Business School enjoyed the festival while making snacks themselves. 

Behind the Hyundai Motor Business Management Building, there were club performances and activities such as the 'Water Gun Island'. The Water Gun Island was one of the concepts of this 'KUlue Marble', designed to cool off the heat by shooting water guns like 'Water Bomb'. Along with club performances, students could relieve academic stress by shooting water guns. Students expressed their impressions of this 'KUlue Marble' as follows: 

Ma Youngseung (Business, '23)  
"We prepared everything in the pub, from menu to costumes, in line with the concept of the 'Spain' of the Business A class. Spanish food can be relatively expensive and unfamiliar compared to typical pub snacks, but we tried to organize it at a reasonable price as much as possible. Although it was tough to actually run the pub today, seeing people enjoy themselves makes me feel good too." 

Woo Yootae (Business, '23)  

"I am in charge of the booth chairman and the overall festival management during today. It's my first time running the festival as a member of the Student Council this year, and although it was tough to prepare and plan each booth one by one, I feel proud. Above all, since the Business School is holding such a grand festival alone, I hope students remember our uniqueness, thinking 'Indeed, the Business School is different.'" 

Kim Bohyun (Interdisciplinary Studies, '23)  
"I knew there was a festival in the Business School since last year, but it was my first time coming this year. It was great to be able to enjoy it before the actual festival began. Various stages and exciting music continued, and above all, everyone here seemed to be enjoying themselves, so I feel like I'm really enjoying the festival atmosphere." 

Lee Hyemin (Media, '20)  
"This time, I performed on stage with the dance club 'Wild Eyes' at the Business School festival. The stage was bigger than I expected, and I was surprised. It was a stage that I had been preparing for two months, and I was glad that many students came to see it. Please show a lot of interest in our performance at the remaining festival and IPSELENTI as well.” 

Lee Woon-yong (Media, '22)  

"At first, I doubted whether water gun fight would be possible in the school festival space, but once we started playing, it was so much fun like becoming a child. The organizers even distributed towels, showing meticulous preparation, which made it more comfortable to enjoy. If a similar event is planned in the future, it would be even better to conduct it on mats instead of dirt floors."
