“I expect the youth who walk along the Haegong-ro to embody the profound ideals of Haegong". “I also request the professors, students, personnel, foundation members, and alumni present here today to unite as one in order to produce more and more talents as the spirits of ‘Yigyowiga Sapilquijeong (以校爲家 事必歸正)’ penetrate into every corner of the university”, he added.
