From Performances to VR Games... Busan Office of Education to Hold "Day of Integrity Culture"

Student Performances and Integrity VR Experience Programs Offered

Sharing the Values of Trust and Consideration Through a Special Lecture on Mental Health

A unique event in Busan invites the community to reflect on the meaning of integrity, not through formal education, but through performances, hands-on activities, and a special lecture on mental health.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will hold the "2026 Day of Integrity Culture" on the afternoon of September 11, 2026, at the main auditorium of the Busan Educational Research and Information Institute, with students, parents, and teachers from the education community participating.

This year's event aims to move beyond viewing integrity as simply a regulation or obligation, and instead foster a culture where the educational community can practice it together in everyday life. The focus is on naturally sharing the value of integrity through student-led performances, hands-on integrity programs, and a special lecture by a well-known speaker on mental health.

The event will be held in two parts.

The first part will open with a performance by the band of Yeonje High School, followed by a K-POP dance performance by students from Busanjin Girls’ Commercial High School. Student-prepared performances will set the atmosphere for the event, which will then continue with screenings of winning entries and an awards ceremony for the "2026 Integrity Content Contest."

In the second part, Dr. Lee Gwangmin, a medical doctor from Seoul National University, will deliver a keynote lecture titled "Prescriptions for Caring for the Mind – Together and For Myself." The lecture will emphasize the importance of a trust- and consideration-based organizational culture centered on mental health and communication, and will propose ways to create a culture of integrity within healthy relationships.

Even in the venue lobby, a variety of interactive and exhibition activities on the theme of integrity will be available.

Attendees can experience "One Phrase of Integrity for Myself Today," a keychain lottery, and "Break Corruption! Integrity VR Game," a collaborative development with Daejin Electronics & Communication High School. In addition, contest entries from the Integrity Content Contest and integrity-themed books recommended by the Cheongbaekri Supporters will be on display.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education expects that programs allowing students and the educational community to enjoy and participate together will help establish integrity as a daily value and serve as an opportunity to deepen trust and respect among members of the educational community.

SeokJun Kim, Superintendent of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, "We hope that the stages created by students and the special lecture that soothes the mind will help everyone realize that integrity is not detached from daily life, but a culture we can all share. We expect this event to become an opportunity for the entire education community to cultivate a culture of integrity based on trust and respect."
