Stronger Together: 2025 Korea University E-MBA Alumni Festival Wraps Up in Success 

Korea University Business School (KUBS) hosted the 2025 Executive MBA (E-MBA) Alumni Festival from Saturday, June 14, to Sunday, June 15, at the Alpensia Resort in Pyeongchang. Held under the slogan “All Together, Go Go Go!”, the event featured a variety of programs—including an induction ceremony, commemorative performances, an awards presentation, and a development fund pledge ceremony—that celebrated the spirit of unity and generosity, strengthening the bonds within the E-MBA community.. 

The festival began with welcoming remarks from the E-MBA Alumni Association President and congratulatory remarks from the Associate Dean of MBA Programs. This was followed by the 21st class’s induction ceremony and a traditional Korean sabal ritual, a bowl-sharing ceremony symbolizing unity and friendship.

A highlight of the evening was the graduation class’s development fund pledge ceremony, part of an E-MBA tradition in which each graduating class contributes KRW 30 million to support the school. 

At the pledge ceremony, a representative from the 21st class presented the donation letter, and the Graduate School of Business expressed its gratitude by presenting a donation certificate and a plaque of appreciation. The funds will be used meaningfully to improve the school’s educational environment and support its continued development. This act is regarded not merely as financial support, but as a symbolic practice of the E-MBA alumni network, rooted in responsibility, mutual respect, and a strong sense of community among graduates. 

Following the commemorative group photo for the induction, the celebration segment featured the E-MBA Chorus, which delivered a moving performance of four songs, including “Life”.

The atmosphere reached its peak when special guest singer Nam-jung Park took the stage, performing his hit song “Thinking of You” along with other popular numbers. 

The event continued with a toast from the KU Alumni Association President, introductions of participants by class year, and award ceremonies for the golf and travel activities, all filled with a warm spirit of camaraderie among alumni. It concluded on a high note with a closing toast from Associate Dean Gangseog Ryu of the MBA Programs.
