2025 Coming-of-age Ceremony Event with the PSPS students

When I wear the Hanbok, I feel so feminine—like a young girl, or even a princess. I understand that this event celebrates the moment when children become adults. When I was a child in Myanmar, I participated in a similar kind of event. Our traditional clothes also have decorative elements depending on the design, but the feeling is quite different. This is my first time experiencing something like this, and I really appreciate being able to experience Korean culture and traditions. – Hsu Htoo Nandar Aung(PPL) I decided to participate in this event because I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Korean culture and the unique local traditions. Previously, I had only read about these things in books, but I had never experienced them in person. So it is truly an honor for me to take part in this coming-of-age ceremony. – Ma Yuan(SED) The PSPS students participated in the Korea traditional coming-of-age ceremony hosted by the Yeungnam University Museum. Students were able to improve their understanding of Korean culture and learn the attitude of respect for various cultures by wearing hanbok, a traditional Korean clothing, and experiencing the traditional way of coming of age. Students who participated in the event said they had a meaningful time through unforgettable experiences and were happy to make good memories in Korea.
