Hello everyone~ 😊

Korean universities usually have representative mascots. This is because mascots represent the symbolism of the university. Today, I will introduce you to the symbolic mascots of each Korean university.

1. Korea University - Hoi

The mascot of Korea University is a tiger. Korea University's school color is red, and the school chose a tiger as its symbol animal, so it uses a mascot nicknamed "Korea Tiger." It is a character that embodies the school's symbol animal, a tiger, in a cute and friendly image. Hoi represents the school's positive energy and is popular among students. Just looking at the picture, it's so cute~

2. Hanyang University - 'Hyrion' and 'Hynarri'

The official mascots of Hanyang University are Hailion and Hinaree.

Hailion is a character created from the lion, which is the symbol of Hanyang University. It symbolizes the pride and challenging spirit of the school. The name is a combination of "Hi" (short for Hanyang) and "Lion" (lion), and contains the strong image of Hanyang University. Hailion is Hailion's friend! He forms the mascot team of Hanyang University. Hailion emphasizes the friendly aspect of the university along with its cute image, and plays a role in helping communication with students.

3. Chung-Ang University - Puangi

The mascot of Chung-Ang University is the Blue Dragon. When the founder of Chung-Ang University purchased the school site, a blue dragon appeared in his dream, and accordingly, a blue dragon statue in the shape of a globe was erected in the middle of the school pond.

As time passed, in 2019, Puangi, who was selected through a character contest, maintains the identity of a blue dragon holding the Earth in his hand, while also having cute features with a modern feel. "Puangi" is a name created by combining the blue "Pu", which symbolizes youth and trust, and the "Ang" of Chung-Ang University. In addition, the name "Puangi" has a cute and friendly feel, making it easy to remember and call. Currently, Puangi is being used in various promotional materials for Chung-Ang University~

Today, I introduced you to the mascots of Korea University, Hanyang University, and Chung-Ang University! It was really fun~ If I get the chance later, I will introduce you to more university mascots!

Have a nice day~
