The Haeoreum Festival is the beginning of the Humanities and Social Sciences Student Council's activities for the new year of 2024, the Year of Gabjin. It symbolizes the start of a new journey and wishes happiness for the students of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

This event was divided into two parts, Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 1, there was an opening ceremony, introductions and speeches by guests, and an introduction to the student council. Part 2 featured a talent show where students from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences could showcase their talents, as well as raffles and other events.

Specially one of the most special aspects of this event was the time allocated for each department's student council to present their motto. During this segment, representatives from each department's student council lined up on stage. The spokesperson, representing the student council, rolled their foot to the rhythm, injecting energy into their delivery, and expressed the goals of each student council.

"Thanks to the support of our fellow students, I believe we were able to successfully conclude the 2024 Haeoreum Festival of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. As it was our first event, there were some areas where we could improve, and there are some regrets, but with the cooperation of the eight student councils of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and our fellow students, we were able to wrap up the event without major issues."

Despite some regrets, she expressed satisfaction with the successful conclusion of the event.

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences Student Council, named 'film,' said, "As it was the first event we directly organized and also served as the inaugural ceremony for the 'film' student council, the event carried significant meaning for us. We were determined to conclude it successfully." They mentioned facing some challenges during the event planning process.

They also mentioned, "We continuously deliberated on how to make the event more meaningful for the students of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. We made changes and revisions to our plans until the day before the Haeoreum Festival. Despite the somewhat chaotic preparations for our first event, we were fortunate to conclude the event without major issues."
