More than 100 international students from Pukyong National University (President Bae Sanghoon) participated in the Busan Global Culture Festival.

Pukyong National University announced on July 1 that its students took part in the global culture festival held in Busan, where they spent time engaging with citizens through cultural exchange programs. The festival they attended was the "2026 International Foreign Student Festival in Busan," held on June 27 at the Sasak Asiad Auxiliary Stadium in Busan.

This event, hosted by Busan Metropolitan City and co-organized by the Busan Global City Foundation and the Busan Foreign Student Integration Support Hub, was held under the theme "Anchoring in Busan, Connecting the World." It was designed as a global cultural festival to bring together international students from universities in the Busan area and local citizens.

On June 27, the '2026 International Foreign Student Festival in Busan' was held at the Sasik Asiad Auxiliary Stadium in Busan.

Pukyong National University, with the RISE Project Group and International Exchange Division, supported more than 100 international students—a relatively large group among the 16 participating universities. The university operated a promotional booth at the venue, where they introduced support programs for international students and international exchange activities. The university's representative international students also participated in the "Golden Bell" competition.

In addition, the international students broadened their understanding of Busan by interacting with citizens through a variety of hands-on programs, such as world culture experiences and K-POP experiences.

Bae Sanghoon, President of Pukyong National University, stated, "We will continue to expand various international exchange programs and support initiatives so that international students can naturally integrate into the local community and live stably in Busan."
