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?

제 23 호 Summer Program on Regional Studies with Towson University

Kicker: SM NEWS Summer Program on Regional Studies with Towson University by Ji-min Baek, Editor-in-Chief / Si-ho Park, Reporter pjm5875@naver.com / pnshse05@naver.com Among our school’s sister universities in the United States, students from Towson University located in Baltimore, Maryland, participated in a summer program on regional studies at Sangmyung University Seoul Campus from July 21 to August 3. Seven students from Towson University and six from Sangmyung University had time to take various lectures and enjoy Korean culture together in person by visiting various places. Here’s what they learned and experienced. About the Towson University Summer Program Towson University students' summer program on regional studies and philosophy ran for two weeks from July 21 to Aug. 3 at the Seoul campus of Sangmyung University. Students had time to learn about Korea through lectures for a week from July 22 to July 27. In the lecture, the students had time to understand Korean society, economy, history, and culture. After listening to the lectures from professors in their respective fields, they had group discussion time so that they could hear more vivid stories of Korea and share their opinions with Korean students (buddies). After the class, the students visited Community Chest Korea, LG Magok Science Park, Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Assembly, DMZ, Insadong, etc., and had time to experience and feel Korean society, history, and culture firsthand. A class about Korean history by Dr. Samuel Denny and Dr. Kim Kyung-jin A class about Korean culture: GAT by Dr. Yang Hee-sun Visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace Interviews with Students from Towson University I interviewed Ash and Macayla, students at Towson University. Ash participated in this program because it is related to her major. Additionally, as she enjoys learning about various subjects, she finds it fascinating to get new information and some new pieces of history and culture. Macalya learned about this through her class and developed an interest in it by participating in a study abroad fair, which ultimately led her to join this program. Both are interested in K-pop and Macalya is also interested in the fashion and K-beauty culture in Korea. They each selected the natural landscapes of Korea and their meeting with students from Sangmyung University as the most memorable things about this program. They stated that, in addition to gaining considerable knowledge about Korean culture, history, and economy through their participation in the program, they also appreciated the opportunity to broaden their perspectives. I also interviewed Professor Samuel A. Denny Jr, who conducted the lecture on Understanding Korean History. He expressed his pleasure at being able to share Dr. Kim Kyung-jin’s vivid stories of the Korean War and his remarkable mindset with students from Sangmyung University and Towson University. He also noted that during the Q&A session, Dr. Kim provided a meaningful response to a question with the phrase “Dig many holes when you are young,” which meant the idea that young people should constantly challenge themselves and gain diverse experiences. Everyone was deeply impressed by this answer. I believe, as Dr. Kim mentioned, that continuously learning new things and gaining diverse experiences are important. I have no doubt that this program would have been a valuable experience for both our students and those from Towson University. I hope that there will be more opportunities in the future to engage in such summer programs and other avenues for learning.

Kicker: SM NEWS Unlocking Opportunities: Scholarship Programs at Sangmyung University by Sumin Lee , Cub-Reporter minnida_@naver.com How much do you know about Sangmyung University's scholarship system? At the end of the first semester, students of Korean universities, including Sangmyung University, are very interested in the benefits of receiving their credits at the same time as they wait for their credits. There is an academic scholarship system and benefits in all universities in Korea.Also there are various types of scholarship systems in our school, Sangmyung University. But many students pass without receiving 100% of the benefits or even knowing that they exist. This can be confirmed in Everytime’s more than 150 Q&As, which is the university student community. In this article, I would like to introduce our school's scholarship system, which is the subject of confusion, and introduce the period and space in which you can apply for the scholarship programs. Campus Scholarships Depending on Grades There are more than 23 types of scholarships in our school alone. Among these various scholarships, I will introduce some of the scholarships that give the most students the opportunity to receive. First of all, the top/secondary scholarship of the department, which is a scholarship that many students know, can be reduced by 70% and the full amount of each tuition fee. The excellent multi-major scholarship is the top 10% of students who have completed multiple majors can receive 50% of the tuition fee is reduced for each semester. In addition, there is an academic (myeonhak) scholarship. This is to select the number of people for each department and individual notices are announced for each department. Academic plans and interviews are mobilized if necessary. There are two types of academic scholarships: Type A is for students who have good academic performance and have been recommended by the head of the faculty, Type B is for students who are under the 8th section of the income category of the Korea Scholarship Foundation. 40% of the tuition fee is reduced for both types. Lastly, Enhancement scholarships also exist. A certain amount of scholarship is provided to students who have an average score of 1.5 or higher than the previous semester's grades. This is a grade-related scholarship, and all students who have taken a lecture can apply. In addition, there is a scholarship system that provides a certain amount of support for specific activities such as labor scholarships, leadership scholarships, placement scholarships, global scholarships, start-up scholarships and field training scholarships. Campus Scholarships Depending on the Situation In addition, there is a system that provides scholarships depending on the situation, and the entire tuition fee is reduced for veteran scholarships provided to eligible students, such as children/grandchildren/educational protection targets of national merit. At this time, the meaning of a veteran commonly used in Korea means a person who participated in the Korean War or the Vietnam War and made a great contribution to Korea's present. The sibling/sister scholarship provides a certain amount of support during the current enrollment period if there is a sibling currently attending the school as an undergraduate or graduate student. Multi-child scholarships reduce 50% of tuition for one semester for the children of alumni or alumni who graduated from our university's undergraduate department. In addition, there are multicultural scholarships, multi-child scholarships, foreign scholarships, and sharing scholarships. More detailed information can be easily found in the scholarship system area on the website of Sangmyung University. A Variety of Suburban Scholarships In addition to these various on-campus scholarships, the first is the OK Life Scholarship. Even if you have received on-campus and national scholarships, you can receive double benefits. As of the application date, the entire semester's tuition has been resolved with on-campus scholarships, but scholarships are provided to students who need living expenses to continue their studies. In order to apply, you must obtain credits of 3.46/4.3 or 3.7/4.5 or higher and can apply only if you are below the 8th quintile of income. Second, the Blue Lighthouse Donation Scholarship is the most well-known scholarship among students. It is easy to check for various types of scholarships at a glance on the website, and in addition to the national scholarships that apply for each semester of the first semester and the second semester, companies select candidates for regular scholarship support, so it is necessary to check them periodically. Third, the dreamspon. When accessing the dreamspon website, you can check the latest scholarship information and the scholarships currently being recruited. The distinctive scholarship system is the Dream Scholarship, which is a scholarship system worth looking at because it is a DreamSponge-only scholarship system that selects scholarship students based on DreamSponge-only criteria. Lastly, the Mirae Asset Park Hyun-joo Foundation scholarship selects exchange scholarships every semester for students who want to support overseas exchange programs. If you are interested in becoming an exchange student, you should apply. In addition to these various types of on-campus scholarships, suburban scholarships exist. There are so many different types of scholarships that this article does not contain information on all scholarships, but if you are interested, it is important to access various websites such as DreamSponge to find out the qualifications and apply. Scholarships can be known and received as much as one's efforts. Rather than waiting for someone to give one to you, it is necessary to get an opportunity to recognize and receive them with an active attitude.

At the conference of this association, the students won the excellent paper award with the topic of “real-time communicative parking lot reservation system.” This system was created to reduce inundation damage of underground parking lots which is common in the rainy season and to use parking space more efficiently. Contents of the Paper The Korean Entertainment Industry Association conference was held with the theme “Reflective Study on the Entertainment Industry of Modern Society.” The paper that won the excellent paper award introduces installation of water level detection and water stop at the entrance of parking lots to prevent inundation damage in the rainy season, and tells about the development of an application that allows drivers to book parking space and communicate to use the parking spots effectively. Meaning of this Award More than 80 people participated, and 22 papers were published in this conference of the Korean Entertainment Industry.

The mural painting project, which was carried out as part of rural volunteer activities, was designed to decorate the fence of the "Seungjin Civilian-Military Win-Win Welfare Center," which remodeled idle facilities of the Ministry of National Defense into open facilities for residents.Seungjin Civilian-Military Win-Win Welfare Center is the first case in Korea that the Ministry of National Defense's idle facilities have been remodeled as resident-open facilities through cooperation between the public and private forces. Seungjin Civilian-Military Win-Win Welfare Center The Seungjin Civilian-Military Win-Win Welfare Center is the first case in Korea that the Ministry of National Defense's idle facilities have been remodeled as residents' open facilities through cooperation between the public and private forces. It was established to alleviate conflicts between civilians and soldiers in Pocheon City, where large-scale military facilities are concentrated, and to help revitalize the local economy. It was built as a comprehensive welfare center that can be used by military personnel and local residents such as sports and welfare facilities including a park, golf course, futsal course, and civilian-military job training center.

Kicker: SM News Photo, Video and Media Majors Volunteer for Senior Citizens in Chungcheongnam-do By Su-Young Kim, Editor /kimsuyoung1342@gmail.com Seven students majoring in Photography and Video Media volunteered to take photos of elderly people in Bongjeong-dong, Gonju-si, Chungcheongnam-do. Students who donated their talents visited 17 households and wished 31 elderly people a long life by doing hairstyling, makeup, directing, and taking photos of longevity. This volunteer activity was started to prepare students for meaningful growth experiences through a project that records the space and memories of life together based on their major competencies. The team’s name "Collect," which means recording the object, and the choice of the filming method can change the meaning of the object in that the meaning of the word can be changed by the choice of vowels. Unlike the previous format, the photos of Jangsu were taken out with white cloth and blankets used by the elderly wearing their favorite clothes in the background. In addition, the life and memories of the elderly are captured in the background of the house. Park Jae-hee, a student of the vowel team, said it was a meaningful experience to meet and talk with senior citizens in the region where the team members had grown up since they were young, and I hope the elderly will be happy looking back on their lives and memories through longevity photos. Starting with taking photos of Jangsu in Bongjeong-dong, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do, the collection team of Sangmyung University's Photography and Video Media majors will continue to record the space and memories of life together in various places in Korea, including the area scheduled for redevelopment. It seems to be such heartwarming and remarkable paragon for other people to know volunteer activities that help the community with good opportunities. I hope the beautiful activities of the vowel team will continue in the future. Sources:https://www.asiae.co.kr/article/2024070413394722174 http://www.dynews.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=759217
