KUBS 809 New Year Party was held in Ahn Young Il Hall located in LG-POSCO Building on January 17 (Thu). This event was hosted by current KUBS Dean Jae Wook Kim and many important people attended; KUBS Vice Dean Joonghyuk Kim, KUBS Vice Chair Bae ho Kim, Vice Chair of KUBS Alumni Association Ja Hyung Koo, President of Female Alumni Association Choong Jin Lee and more than 40 other alumnis participated.

809 Chairman Soo-Geun Park opened the ceremony by giving a speech to thank Dean Jae Wook Kim for hosting this meeting and New Year's greeting. Event was smoothly held followed by Dean's comment saying, "While I was thinking about there would be many alumnis who were curious about how their home university has changed, I got to know the fact that 809 is doing New Year Party so I reached out and invited them into their own school." He continued, "Have great time here and as always, I hope alumnis here could maintain their courtesy and love toward their Alma Mater."
 

Vice Chair of KUBS Alumni Association Ja Hyung Koo followed, "Until now, KUBS Alumni Association is ran by Alumnis with their student number starts with 1970~ and so on. I strongly hope our alumnis who entered KUBS on 1980s could more actively participate in Alumni Association thereby both Alumni Association and 809 can advance one step forward."

President of Female Alumni Association Choong Jin Lee said, "I'm running Female Alumni Association for past six years, and as years go by, there are many events, ceremonies and meetings increasing." She also mentioned that more than 50% of the freshmen for year 2019 are females, thus she is looking forward for the boom of Female Alumni Association as there are already many female students & alumnis participating in the events. She also said, she would be greatful for many supports and cheer for Female Alumni Association as well.
 

After all these greetings, 2018 activities & accounting results were presented, followed by brief speech from alumnis who reached 30th Anniversary for their entrance of the school. Jung-ho Kim (KUBS 88) said, "In 30th Anniversary Ceremony we alumnis have gathered more than 200 million KRW for scholarship purpose. This amount is an outstanding number compared to other majors who only reached 100 million at maximum. We followed the path that our seniors laid, and our 30th Anniversary Ceremony was successfully done due to the strong back up from our seniors."

During the ceremony, there was an event for donating scholarship from 809 association to KUBS. Vice Chair of KUBS Alumni Association Ja Hyung Koo, President Soo-Geun Park, and New President Yong-dong Yeo handed in Dean Jae Wook Kim 16 million KRW as a scholarship. President Soo-Geun Park said, "809 didn't actively donated scholarship in the past regularly but donated 23 million KRW two years ago when New president took over his place. I strongly hope this tradition could continue in the future too. During last three years, I handed in scholarship donations twice to the school and am really grateful for members of 809 association who strongly supported and responded."
 

Ceremony was followed by New president Yong-dong Yeo saying, "I am grateful to be appointed as president for this meaningful association but at the same time, kind of worried too. I will try my best to make 809 entertaining, fun, helpful, and meaningful to each other thereby helping our home university to develop and advance."
 

Afterwards, feast was held starting with the toast of 809 Seon-Yong Lee, and watched video about 2018 activities. After having dinner, alumnis introduced themselves by doing 1 minute presentation about self introduction and giving out how one is getting along these days. This event ended in great success.
