Konkuk University festival was finally held face-to-face for the first time in two years

       In October, the integrated festival "Green Zone" was successfully held for a total of three days from 26 to 28. The scheduled festival was held for two days from the 26 to the 27, and the last day, the 28, was designated as a festival day in honor of the Konkuk University uprising, and the festival was cleaned up. The "Green Zone" was a
university festival held face-to-face for the first time in two years since the COVID-19 pandemic. The "Green Zone," named after the symbolic color of KU, means decorating the campus around green and cheering for the blue youth and future of KU students.
        The Green Zone was consisted of various entertainment activities, including various booths run by KU classmates, club performances, celebrity performances, and bars. In line with the festival name "Green Zone," the event's organizer, the student council, REBOOT divided each event into nine different themes "zone": Childlike zone, Tattoo zone, Blind zone, Candy zone, Adventure zone, Three cut photo zone, Entertainment zone, hum zone, and excitement zone. The above zones hosted by the student council were held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the general booth was held from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m., and on the last day of the festival, it was extended by an hour until 2 a.m. Most of the information on the festival was guided through the KU Student Council Instagram (@student.konkuk).

       First, in the Childlike Zone, you could take pictures with the super-large Ku, the mascot of KU. The Childlike Zone was the only student council booth to be held until 10 p.m. As the name suggests, the Tattoo Zone was a place where you could enjoy various tattoo stickers symbolizing KU. Only participants with the student bracelet
distributed a week before the festival, were able to participate in the booth. October 28, 1986, was the day when the KU student activists made a movement for democracy against the dictatorship. In the Blind Zone, a participant was able to honor the KU uprising by writing letters to seniors who experienced that day. Next, the Candy Zone was a fairy tale-like space where you could see candy shops full of colorful candies and jelly and Halloween concept photo zones. The Adventure Zone was a small amusement park in the school. Exciting music, happy smiles, and many other booths with various people made students regain the excitement of the forgotten college life.
        Since the "Green Zone" was a face-to-face university festival that had been recovered for the first time in two years, preparations and safety checks were conducted very thoroughly. REBOOT discussed with KU's dormitory Coolhouse not to grant penalty points for unauthorized night outings during the festival due to safety concerns caused by dormitory classmates staying outdoors at night. Next, a barrier-free zone was installed for students with disabilities at KU. Barrier-free zone refers to a facility that enables convenient physical activities to relieve inconvenience in space and facilities used by the socially disadvantaged. From October 12 to 21, disabled students
were able to apply through the Google Form, and even one guardian was allowed to enter together. There was a preemptive measure that considered the convenience of classmates, so many classmates could enjoy the festival without worrying.
