Walking the Campus, Envisioning the Future: 2025 KUBS Regular Campus Tour and Youth Day 

On Saturday, May 17, Korea University Business School (KUBS) hosted the “2025 KUBS Regular Campus Tour and Youth Day” on its campus. The event welcomed approximately 100 high school students from across the country, offering them a glimpse into real college life and in-depth insights into business studies. The program was organized and led by KUBE, the official student ambassadors of KUBS, who shared their personal university experiences and perspectives. 

The program consisted of △an opening ceremony, △About KUBS (an introduction to the business school and its majors), △a group photo session, △a student transition period and break, △a campus tour, △a mentoring session with enrolled students, and △a closing ceremony. 

During the opening ceremony, Associate Dean Hyun Seung Na warmly welcomed the students, saying, “I sincerely thank you for taking the time and effort to be here today. I hope this experience helps you understand why business studies are essential to society and inspires greater motivation.” He especially acknowledged participants who traveled long distances from cities such as Changwon and Busan, adding, “As a small token of appreciation, we will gift Korea University tiger plushies to those who came from the farthest regions.” 
The remark was met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience. 

The event was emceed by KUBE President Ujin Shin and Vice President Minji Kang. During the About KUBS session, ambassadors Junseok Hong and Chaewoo Lee introduced the business school, followed by Sihoon Moon and Dajin Kim, who presented an engaging overview of the school’s nine academic concentrations. 

They highlighted KUBS’s reputation as the top producer of certified public accountants (CPAs) in Korea and its global learning environment, supported by 90 full-time professors and over 61.2% of classes conducted in English. To make the content more relatable, the ambassadors used the example of ramen — covering its production, distribution, and marketing — to explain business specializations in a fun and accessible way. A final quiz session added to the excitement, with small prizes awarded to students who answered correctly. 

Following the group photo, students were divided into teams and gathered in lecture rooms at Hyundai Motor Hall. Each group, guided by KUBE ambassadors, embarked on a campus tour that included key business facilities — LG-POSCO Hall, Hyundai Motor Hall, and the Main Building — as well as notable locations on the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus such as the Centennial Memorial Samsung Hall, SK Future Hall, and the underground facilities beneath Central Plaza. Students took commemorative group photos at each stop, creating lasting memories. 

The mentoring session that followed provided an open space for questions on admissions, academics, and university life. When asked about study strategies, ambassador Chaewoo Lee shared, “Understanding the test maker’s intent is key to performing well on school exams. I used vacation periods to prepare for the Korean SAT and focused on school grades during the semester to maintain balance.” 

The ambassadors also introduced diverse career paths including CPA preparation, the Public Officer Qualification Exam, and launching a startup, offering practical insights and motivation to participants as they explore their future academic and career goals. 

One student shared, “I was unsure about my future, but today sparked my interest in business. Now I’m dreaming of entering Korea University and becoming a member of KUBE.” 

The KUBS Regular Campus Tour and Youth Day has evolved into more than just a campus visit — it offers meaningful, hands-on experiences that help students envision their academic journey and future careers. Held twice annually in May and November, the next Youth Mentoring Day, providing deeper insights into business education, is scheduled for July. Applications will open in June via the official KUBE website.
