Kicker: SM NEWS The Proud Basketball Team at Sangmyung University By Myung-Kwan Kang, Editor-in-chief Kmmg199999@naver.com Did you know there is a basketball team at Sangmyung University? Since the basketball department is located at the Cheonan Campus, students from the Seoul campus and those not interested in sports may not be aware of it. In this article, I will take a look at the proud Sangmyung University basketball team, its players, and their triumph in the 2025 Stove League. In 1996, following Sangmyung University's transition to a coeducational institution, the university aimed to create a dynamic campus environment and enhance its reputation by establishing a basketball team. As a result, the men's basketball team was officially founded on February 26, 2009. Remarkably, just one year after its founding, the team was promoted to the first division in 2010, consistently demonstrating strong performances ever since Currently, in 2025, Sangmyung University Basketball Department is composed of 10 players, including Jun-hwan Choi, Dong-myung Hong, Jung-woo Song, In-seop Park, Jung-woo Wi, Jung-hwan Choi, Chan-young Kim, Min-kuk Kim, Young-ki Han, and Yong-jun Yoon. On February 5, at the 2025 Korea University Basketball Federation Stove League, Sangmyung University triumphed over Sungkyunkwan University. At the beginning of the game, Sungkyunkwan University played with high intensity, successfully made a three-point shot and took control of the game. However, the Sangmyung University team took the lead in the game with skillful play and defeated Sungkyunkwan University aided by three-point shots from Dong-myung Hong. After the game, Sangmyung University manager Seung-jin Go said, "Since it was our first game, the players seemed somewhat nervous, so the results of our training were not fully reflected. Nevertheless, I’m happy we won, and I appreciate the players for their hard work." Additionally, Dong-myung Hong, the captain of the basketball team, said, "I’m happy with the win. However, since our team is aiming for the playoffs this season, we won’t settle for this victory. We are focused on giving our best in every game." When asked what they were most looking forward to in the university league, Min-guk Kim said, "There are many skilled guards in the current university league, so I want to compete against as many players as possible." Young-ki Han said, "I want to play against various university players to assess my skill level." Yong-jun Yoon said, "Unlike in high school, we practice with professional teams. By practicing with pro teams, I want to learn from their strengths and make them my own." Sangmyung University basketball players made an impressive start to the 2025 game by winning their first game against Sungkyunkwan University. With the league set to begin in March, there's much anticipation surrounding how the team will perform in the coming matches. After sufficient training and rest, it would be exciting to see the players showcase their skills and determination on the court. If you're a student at Sangmyung University, please give our basketball team a lot of interest and support.

제 24 호 Designing Futures : at Major Exploration Fair

Kicker: SM NEWS Designing Futures : at Major Exploration Fair By Sol-Mi Lim, Cub-reporter imsolver4@gmail.com At our university, students are required to choose from multiple majors, secondary majors, and advanced majors in order to graduate. This presents a valuable opportunity to explore different fields before making a decision and to engage in meaningful conversations with professors in those disciplines. Although this event is held annually, many students remain unaware of it or do not take full advantage of the opportunity. Why not seize this chance to participate and discover what each major has to offer? Experience Various Majors The Major Exploration Fair, held this October at Sangmyung University’s Seoul and Cheonan campuses, aimed to support students interested in specialized or multi-major tracks by enhancing adaptability and retention rates. The event welcomed prospective freshmen, parents, and entrance exam guidance teachers, providing them with campus tours and detailed explanations about the entrance process. By gathering feedback from attendees, the fair also sought to better understand the demand for information on university programs and admission criteria, allowing the university to better meet prospective students' needs. Program Introduction The fair offered valuable opportunities for prospective students, freshmen, and seniors alike. Each major’s booth provided consultations led by professors and current students, while QR codes at each booth allowed attendees to access information, confirm their participation, and receive souvenirs. In the integrated major promotion zone, each department’s materials were displayed on banners, and major introduction videos played on large screens. Attendees could also receive career counseling from professional advisors, including guidance on career paths after graduation. At the government-supported education business booth, visitors could learn about various major systems, including curricula for interdisciplinary programs. Interview with Participants 1. Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today. To start, could you please introduce yourself? Nice to meet you. I'm Yu-min, a freshman majoring in intellectual property. 2. I heard that you participated in the 2024 Major Exploration Fair. Why did you participate? I decided to participate because I’m considering a double major and wanted some guidance. As a freshman, there was still a lot I didn’t know, but this opportunity allowed me to reconsider the major I'm studying in my department. By consulting on the curriculum of the department I’m interested in, I was able to receive valuable support in defining my career path. 3. Would you be interested in participating again? Of course. I would recommend it to others. For freshmen, it’s a great opportunity to think about and plan how to spend the remaining semesters. Even for upperclassmen, the advantage is being able to ask professors directly, which helps in setting more specific goals. 4. Lastly, what areas do you think could be improved? Attractive promotions that can grab students' attention are necessary. Since there are often high-ranking individuals, like professors, present during visits, I think it would be helpful to have more students available who can create a friendly and approachable environment, making it easier for others to ask questions. To graduate, students must choose from multiple majors, minors, or advanced majors. If you are unsure about which path to take, why not gain insights from your seniors' experiences and professors' recommendations at the Major Exploration Fair? This large-scale event is held annually, and anyone can participate by registering on the same day, without the need for prior registration. The fair offers a wealth of information to help guide your decision-making process!

제 24 호 How to Use the Library Study Room : Characteristics of Each Room

Kicker: SM NEWS How to Use the Library Study Room : Characteristics of Each Room By Sol-Mi Lim, Cub-reporter imsolver4@gmail.com While many students are familiar with the library's reading rooms, study rooms offer a more dedicated option for focused group work or individual study. Each study room has unique features such as varying capacities, available facilities, like blackboards, and different hours of availability. These distinctions make it essential to select a study room based on specific needs and study goals. To help you make the best choice, here are practical tips for choosing and reserving a study room that suits your purpose. Also included are key guidelines to follow, helping to maintain a respectful and efficient study environment for all library users. Room1 : Cabin & Pavilion & Patio type Unlike other study spaces, the study room here is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., so be sure to keep this in mind when making a reservation. The cabin consists of five rooms, ranging from one to five people, and is located on the first floor of Millennium Hall. Each room is equipped with large blackboards and TVs. However, a disadvantage is that the Pavilion is open, meaning users can see and hear what is happening in adjacent rooms, which might be distracting. The Pavilion includes three rooms and is often used without reservations, as it has no partitions. It features a long sofa, making it ideal for short breaks, but the low desk height should be considered when reserving. The Patio requires a minimum of three people and has two rooms available. Lastly, Jaso, which also requires a minimum of three people, may feel inconvenient due to uncomfortable chairs, so keep this in mind when choosing a room. Room2 : Located in the Library This space is available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The study room, located on the second and third floors of the Academic Information Center, offers the advantage of being spacious enough to accommodate a large number of people and features multiple windows. Although it does not have several individual study rooms, it is available as an independent space, making it suitable for group discussions. However, it is important to note that the minimum number of people required is 5 to 6, so it is more appropriate for larger groups. The study room on the fifth floor consists of seven rooms, each with a capacity of six people. This floor has the most study rooms, making it ideal for team tasks without the concern of being interrupted by others. Additionally, it is connected to the rooftop, providing a convenient space for a quick meal. How to Make a Reservation and Precautions After selecting the study room reservation option in the library app, choose the room type and desired date of use. Enter your student ID number along with the time of use, and the reservation will be completed. The reservation details will appear on the screen in yellow, and you can then proceed to the study room at the scheduled time. Upon arrival at the study room, you must scan the QR code located next to the door within 30 minutes to confirm your presence. Failure to verify your arrival will result in a penalty: you will be prohibited from making further reservations for a week and from using the study rooms. Additionally, please refrain from consuming food in the study room as much as possible, and be sure to leave the space clean for the next user. Choosing the right study room can greatly enhance your productivity and provide an ideal environment for both individual and group study. By considering the features, capacities, and availability of different study rooms, you can select the one that best aligns with your academic goals. Remember to follow the reservation process and guidelines to ensure a smooth and respectful experience for all library users. With proper planning, you can make the most of the study spaces available, fostering a more focused and efficient study session.

제 24 호 “JJ Dessert” Leads Dubai Chocolate Trend: Successful Start-up Story of Sangmyung University

Kicker: SM NEWS “JJ Dessert” Leads Dubai Chocolate Trend: Successful Start-up Story of Sangmyung University by Si-ho Park, Editor pnshse05@naver.com You've probably seen it before. Starting with pop-ups at Lotte Department Store in Dongtan and Time Villas in Suwon, "JJ Dessert" is a brand that successfully hosts pop-ups of Dubai chocolates at department stores in various parts of Korea, including Guri, Incheon, Jamsil, and Yeongdeungpo. This brand was founded by Lee Seung-bae, a professor of Global Business Administration at Sangmyung University, and his students. Let's vividly learn about the successful founding story of the company through an interview with Professor Lee Seung-bae. Photos of JJ Desert’s Dubai Chocolate Start-up Story: How SMU Professor and Students Sold Dubai Chocolate Together Professor Lee Seung-bae is currently the head of the Startup Support Center at Sangmyung University and is conducting a course about start-ups based on his experience of successful start-ups before becoming a university professor. He and the students met through a class called Export-Import Basics. He emphasized trying various things, such as start-ups, in this class, and one student who wished to start a business visited the professor. After talking about starting a business, the three students and the professor gathered and borrowed an acquaintance's office to start a business. They heard Dubai chocolate is becoming a trend, so they tried various recipes by looking up YouTube videos and others. After finding a good recipe, they submitted a proposal to the Lotte Department Store and got an opportunity to conduct a pop-up. The entire process of the start-up, from recipe development to packaging material design, was done directly by themselves. A Difficulty and the Secret to Success in the Process of Starting a Business Since Dubai chocolate is a food product, the biggest difficulty was that it was important to keep it free of foreign substances. Therefore, JJ Dessert carried out the last process on site. It seems that one of the big factors of its success was the on-site demonstration of the process of putting melted chocolate in a mold, hardening it in the refrigerator, and removing it from the water heater. Customers recognized this as a performance, and bloggers posted this process on their blogs, which created a natural promotional effect. At first, their plan was to open a pop-up store once or twice on a small scale. However, the first pop-up store in Dongtan had an open run for two weeks, which was a huge, unexpected success. And this success gave them the opportunity to have another pop-up store. However, JJ Dessert, founded by a Sangmyung University professor and students, did not have a lot of production staff. Suwon Time Villas provided conditions for immediate sales, installing refrigerators and other production lines in its education center. And the pop-up that they conducted in Suwon succeeded as well. A Rapid Change in Tastes JJ Dessert not only makes Dubai chocolate but also continues to produce and sell other dessert products, including chestnut tiramisu. Professor Lee Seung-bae describes the F/B (Food and Beverage) industry as “fast-F/B,” just like fast food and fast fashion. As trends change rapidly, F/B companies have to continue to develop new things. JJ Dessert entrepreneurs hear a lot of opinions from the media and department store managers, and they heard that the trend of Dubai chocolate is gone, and the trend of S’more chocolate is newly rising. After hearing it, they directly developed and released S’more chocolate, but the response was not good. Meanwhile, chestnut tiramisu was introduced by a Netflix series “Culinary Class Wars.” They again developed a new recipe and released chestnut tiramisu to keep up with the trend. They produced the sample product in a day and changed the S’more chocolate corner into the chestnut tiramisu in the pop-up store. However, selling multiple items in a single pop-up store can confuse people and reduce sales. Therefore, chestnut-tiramisu is currently being sold at the Lotte Department Store in Incheon through a Christmas-style stand, with a good customer response. The Most Important Thing in a Start-up Professor Lee Seung-bae emphasizes what is more important than a brilliant idea is “executability." Ideas that are only in your head have no meaning, and we can only grow by bumping directly into walls and overcoming them in the course of implementation. Professor Lee Seung-bae’s advice that students should try more when they are young. He wants students to invest a lot of their time in one thing and have the experience of fully focusing on something. This experience will be a good qualification even if you succeed or fail. By experiencing it in person, you can learn more about yourself, such as whether you like challenges or you prefer something more stable. JJ Dessert is currently developing something that can continue its popularity regardless of trends. Since October 10th, the Dongtan store has been selling Jeju Hallabong Tteokbokki. Please visit and taste it and find out that you can also enjoy this success if you try something yourself. If you have something in mind, whatever it is, try to realize it. Make it happen in the real world. I hope you gain a lot of experience at Sangmyung University so that you can boldly challenge yourself when the opportunity comes.

제 24 호 Students Serving the Society: Our School's Volunteer Group “”Sangmyung Community Service Group”

Kicker: SM NEWS Students Serving the Society: Our School's Volunteer Group “”Sangmyung Community Service Group” by Sumin Lee, Reporter minnida_@naver.com "Do you know about university volunteer clubs?" Most universities in Korea have one or several volunteer clubs. Korea National Aeronautics University, located near the school, has a volunteer club called "ptpi" and is engaged in volunteer activities, plogging,which refers to the act of picking up trash while jogging by combining the two words plocka upp and jogging, and joint volunteer activities in connection with Good Neighbors. In addition, Kyung Hee University has a volunteer club called "Goeundae. They visit child welfare facilities to conduct volunteer activities. For instance, they actively engaged in activities such as holding a sports day or preparing various indoor activities such as hide and seek, dodgeball and soccer for children from a child care facility. In addition, Seoul National University and Ewha Womans University create a joint volunteer club called "Seed" and engage in activities such as art education service activities for the purpose of contributing to society through art. Like this school, our school also has the Sangmyung Social Service Group, an in-school volunteer club. In this article, I would like to introduce about volunteer groups, activities, and how to join them. Introducing Our Community Volunteering Club The representative volunteer group of our school is the “Sangmyung Community Volunteer Group”.Anyone who is attending our school can apply for the volunteer group regardless of nationality. It is not difficult to join the “Sangmyung Community Volunteer Group”. If you look at the order of joining the volunteer group , first of all, if you go to the Sammul portal, our school's general portal site, and go into the order of application for academic, community service, volunteer work, volunteer work applying. You can participate in volunteer work on a first-come, first-served basis by checking the date and time of application in the notice on the school website. Participating in volunteer work at our school can satisfy the maximum number of activities and the hours of volunteer work on campus are recognized differently depending on the activities. When applying, it is also necessary to carefully examine the qualifications for application and the number of people to be recruited to check the availability of application. At this time, it is important to note that volunteer activities are not applied for a fixed period of time, and there is a system that does not notify you separately, so if you want to participate in volunteer activities, you should always access the school website to check the notice periodically. In addition to the volunteer group, there are also social service courses in our school that allow students to fill their credits at the same time as they do community service. If you take this class, you must autonomously fill 24 hours of volunteer work, and one credit is recognized when you fill it. However, as it is a regular course, you need to pay attention to the fact that you can get a nonpass if you do not meet the class conditions. In addition, Cheonan Campus is running a program called "Blue Campus, Higher," which means that Sangmyung people, who will rise to the highest point and extend the farthest, strives for a better environment from nearby campuses to communities for the local environment, and integrates the SSIC-organized environmental service program. It proposes various activities such as environmental beautification in Anseo-dong, near Cheonan Campus, and can be applied on the school website. Details of Volunteering Activities To mention some of the recent activities of the Sangmyung Community Volunteer Group, activities such as volunteer work at the Sadang Senior Welfare Center's Path Restaurant Support, exchange program for university students for the underprivileged in the region, preparation program for self-reliance for young people with visual overlapping disabilities, volunteer work for preparing kimjang, and community path service are being actively carried out .In addition to joining and participating in our school's volunteer group, UNICEF Children's Rights Supporters U-champ can participate in volunteer activities. And if you participate in the KOICA Project Volunteer Group, you can volunteer to help various countries around the world. Furthermore, participating in mentoring, a community children's center learning support volunteer conducted by the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation, to practice volunteer activities and get scholarships chances. Activities other than school volunteer groups also have a fixed application period, and you can only participate in certain volunteer activities if interviews are conducted or certain conditions are met, so it is necessary to carefully check information before applying. The good thing about volunteering while studying in college is that you can interact with a variety of people and gain various experiences. In addition, when you get a job at a company that values service or engages in related businesses, your volunteer work record can be evaluated positively. However, isn't it really the true meaning of service that you can do as an adult, think about the meaning of true service with a sense of responsibility, organize, and cultivate yourself, rather than the volunteer work that is written in the student record book of middle and high school?
