Introduction to Korean events - 키키네 기숙사

hello everyone!

Today, I would like to introduce you to the events that I have recently hosted. Participating in various events while studying abroad will help you create happy memories and gain a deeper understanding of Korean culture.

1️⃣ Han River Jumper Contest

The Hangang Sleeping Contest is a unique healing event hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. This event was planned so that citizens can enjoy a comfortable sleep in nature in the city and relieve stress. It is especially popular with modern people who are tired of their busy daily lives, such as office workers and students. The 2025 contest will be held on May 10 (Sat) from 2 PM to 6 PM. It will be held at the Green Water Plaza in Hangang Park, Yeouido, Seoul.
