제 20 호 SM Fashion Design Exhibition DIG:IN

Kicker : SM NEWS SM Fashion Design Exhibition DIG:IN By Myung-Gwan Kang Kmmg199999@naver.com The news I am introducing this time is about the graduation show and exhibition of the Fashion Design Department at Sangmyung University's Cheonan Campus. First, let me provide an explanation of the Fashion Design Department before delving into the details of the graduation show and exhibition. Sangmyung University Cheonan Campus Fashion Design major is a fashion design major that fosters future-oriented fashion leaders who combine creativity and expertise. DIG:IN on displayed this time refers to the act of immersing yourself in one thing, deeply digging into the field of interest, and immersing yourself in it. It is said that the collection was prepared to show students' efforts and passion to form a "real self" in the era of "multipersona." It also has a dual meaning that can be expressed in my own way through a period of inspiration and growth after a hard and exhausting period. A total of 20 students from Sangmyung University's Fashion Design Department took part.Majors Jang Jin-woo, Kim Chae-yoon, Buck Se-won, Kang Sang-hyuk, Han Mi-na, Kim Chae-hyun, Han Soo-hyun, Deung Ja-geol, Lee Seung-yeon, Um Yu-jin, Lee Min-ju, Lee Geon-ho, Seo Cho Seo-jin, Han So-ah, Lee Yun-ju, Lee Ji-won, Jeon Hyuk-jin, Heo Su-yeon, Yoon Ye-rin and Lee Jung-yoon, participated in the exhibition. In this graduation exhibition, 40 fashion works expressing each individuality through a combination of various genres such as preppy looks, funk looks, cybercore, and traditional costumes were displayed. Twenty students set a concept that suits their style, formed a team, and presented their works in a total of six teams. The name of each piece is 1. BLACK FLAG, 2. Coup d’Etat, 3. Immatoff, 4. L.I(Live in Infinity), 5. auxo, 6. CORRUPTION. I will select some of these works and introduce and explain them. BLACK FLAG The meaning of BLACK FLAG is that World War III occur in the wake of the unidentified nuclear explosion and the existing Seoul becomes a ruin. The concept is that Seoul will become a society of drugs, violence, and corruption and become a dystopia of anarchy that loots each other. This situation expressed the guerilla group's clothing in a Korean dystopian situation with funk and guerillasclothing as the next generation of anarchists about post-apocalypse-style wars. Coup d’Etat Coup d'Etat's concept is a Mongolian student anti-establishment movement. Held in July every year in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, all Mongolians, regardless of gender and age, participate in the Naadam Festival, which has a religious meaning to pray for the growth and abundance of livestock that are important in nomadic life. However, it has been suspended due to COVID-19. If it is held again, it is a new expression of the anti-regime movement clothing of young Mongolian students in the sense of developing traditional clothing with street funk and preppy clothing rather than conservative traditional clothing. auxo The concept of auxo is coral reefs. Coral reefs areparticularly vulnerable ecosystems because they are sensitive to water temperature. Climate change, acidification of the ocean, blast fishing, and other factors cause excessive algal growth, damaging coral reefs and causing bleaching. Auxo is to send a positive message and hope that we can overcome and recover from the bleaching phenomenon to find our own color. Style is an ironic combination of workwear and coral. The concept style is expressed by combining the workwear that has overcome the difficult human history with oxidation by comparing it to the appearance of 'us'. The natural romantic style that can express the atypical shape of a coral and the rough style of the workwear met, and we developed a new romantic workwear design to combine two completely different styles. Interview with fashion design professors and students "In this graduation fashion show, you can see various viewpoints and new fashion through which each student looks at the design topics presented in the rapidly changing era of chaos," said Yeom Hye-soo, a fashion design professor who led the design field. Lee Jung-jin, a fashion design professor who led the field of pattern making, said, "Through various attempts and experiments, you can appreciate works that show students' creativity and talent." Professor Han Ah-young, head of the fashion design major, said, "We expect students to grow into the next generation of fashion talents through the valuable experience of fashion shows and exhibitions prepared with passion and their best efforts.“ Jang Jin-woo, chairman of the Graduation Preparation Committee, said, "I am happy to present the graduation exhibition on the campus following the fashion show I prepared for a year," adding, "I would like to thank the professors for guiding me to finish the graduation exhibition following the fashion show." Compared to last year's graduation exhibition, I could feel that there was a lot of difference. A year seemed very short, but when it comes to fashion, I was very surprised that a lot of things developed in a year, new trends came out, and students grew up with the trend of the times. I would like to express great respect and applause to the students who quickly adapted to these changes and moved forward. I'm looking forward to what kind of work will come out next year, and I expect leather clothes to come out. Finally, I applaud the students who will prepare for next year's show.

제 20 호 An Undergraduate Student Participated as the First Author in an International Academic Journal Registered on SCI

Kicker: SM NEWS (EVENT) An Undergraduate Student, 3rd grade in the Department of Green Chemical Engineering, Participated as the First Author in an International Academic Journal Registered on SCI By Seo-Won Hong, Reporter eunoia1025@naver.com A paper “A Facile Method to Fabricate an Enclosed Paper-Based Analytical Device via Double-Sided Patterning for Ionic Contaminant Detection” by a research team of Kang Sung-min professor of the Department of Green Chemical Engineering at Sangmyung University (SMU) was published in the SCI International Academic Journal (Biosensors, IF:5.400). Lee Eun-ho, 3rd grade in Sangmyung University’s Department of Green Chemical Engineering participated as the first author in the paper. In this article, I will take a closer look at the paper written by a research team of Sangmyung University. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPAD) which are conventional devices and an open-channel system have limitations for application as analytical platforms because of the evaporation and contamination of the sample solution. Professor Kang Sung-min’s research team demonstrates the design and fabrication of an enclosed three-dimensional(3D)-μPAD. This study has also presented the application as a primary early analysis platform. Through this study, heavy metal ions such as copper (Cu2+), nickel (Ni2+), and mercury (Hg2+), which lead the contamination of water, as well as radioactive cesium-137 ions (Cs+) can be detected though color changes simultaneously. An Enclosed three-dimensional(3D)-μPAD could be used as primary early detection sensors for water pollution enabling multiple analyses of unknown samples, it is expected to contribute to the development of environmental monitoring and biosensors field. The research was conducted by the collaborative research team of Professor Kang Sung-min from the Department of Green Chemical Engineering at Sangmyung University and Professor Jeong Heon-ho from the Department of Chemical and Engineering at Chonnam National University. This research was supported by the Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea. https://www.smu.ac.kr/webzine/today.do?mode=view&articleNo=740406&article.offset=10&articleLimit=10 Lee Eun-ho, 3rd grade majoring in Green Chemical Engineering at Sangmyung University, participated as the first author in the paper said, “There were many difficulties in research and experiments, as an undergraduate student.

제 20 호 “140+ in Cheonan”, A Commemorative Event of the 140th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations Between Korea and Germany

Kicker: SM NEWS “140+ in Cheonan”, A Commemorative Event of the 140th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations Between Korea and Germany By Yun-Seo Jung, Reporter yysj1230@naver.com It has been 140 years since Korea and Germany established diplomatic relations. And the conclusion of the Korea-German Employment Agreement also celebrated its 60th anniversary. In commemoration of this, the German-speaking Regional Studies major at the Global Humanities College of Sangmyung University and the Korean & German Teachers Council jointly hosted the commemorative event, “140+ in Cheonan (140 jahre deutch-koreanische beziehungen)”, that was co-directed by Sangmyung University and Dankook University. "140+ in Cheonan" is an event that discusses ways to enhance bilateral cooperation, with the theme of "Steps for the Future of Korea and Germany in Cheonan," and aims to promote and pursue mutual development. This event, which took the form of explanation and discussion, was held on November 2nd at the Sangmyung University Academic Information Center, Room 404. Then, the event was organized in four parts, showing various topics such as industry, culture, and education in Korea and Germany. The first part of the program focused on industrial talent and midsize companies, explaining the challenges of Korean midsize companies in the next 10 years and soft skills that will give a competitive advantage for future talent.

After the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Korea and the United States was signed, Germany also tried to establish diplomatic relations with us using this opportunity, and eventually, the Germany-Korea Treaty was signed on November 26, 1883, with the efforts of von Brandt, Paul Georg von Müllendorf, and Edward Jobpe, the German Consul General in Yokohama.Through the intermediary of the Catholic Church, Koreans were sent to Germany as nurses and miners, and over time, the economic cooperation between the two countries became closer, with the signing of the Korea-Germany Miners' Agreement and the Korea-Germany Cultural Agreement in 1970.

제 19 호 Reorganization of Relative Evaluation Rating Ratio

Kicker: SM NEWS Reorganization of Relative Evaluation Rating Ratio By Jun-Seo Park, Reporter from23juns@naver.com From the first semester of 2023, the ratio of relative evaluation grades was reorganized when giving credits in our university. Before the reorganization, it was operated so that students could receive each grade A, B, and C at a rate of 30%, 40%, and 30% of all students. However, after the reorganization, up to 45% of the total students could receive credits equivalent to A+ and A, and credits equivalent to B+ or less could be given by discretion of the professor. The background of the reorganization as mentioned above was explained by the Academic Affairs Office of this school as follows: “Given that the ratio of receiving A credits from Sangmyung University is currently lower than that of other universities, the school's Academic Affairs Office intends to ease the criteria for benefits under the judgment that it may be difficult for students to secure competitiveness in the job market in the future.” https://www.jamesgmartin.center/2020/07/if-all-men-are-created-equal-why-do-we-need-grades/ Arguments for Approval The opinion in favor is argued as follows. It is possible to increase credit competitiveness in the job market compared to other universities and to reduce academic burdens and prevent overheating of competition by easing standards. It also provides an opportunity for students to participate in extracurricular activities by alleviating fatigue with credits. Arguments for Disapproval The opposing position argues as follows. If the evaluation criteria are eased, the screening criteria may become ambiguous as the ratio of high ranked students expands, reducing discrimination and increasing the number of recipients of academic scholarships. In addition, individual students' understanding of their major may decrease, and the number of people who do not achieve academic achievement may increase. I think that both the pros and cons have reasonable reasons. However, I think it is too much that the ratio of credits corresponding to A and A+ is 45%. It is good to increase students' credit competitiveness in the job market, but if the ratio of A and A+ is too high, students may lose motivation for their studies. In particular, what is more important in recent years is practical abilities rather than credits themselves, so I think it is important for students to voluntarily improve their understanding of their major. Anyway, the reorganization is definitive, so even if there is something that you don't like, it would be desirable to find ways to improve your abilities and do well in school accordingly.

제 19 호 Senior Students from the Department of Theatre Performed En folkefiende

Kicker: SM NEWS Senior Students from the Department of Theatre Performed En folkefiende By Hyesu Kim, Cub-Reporter / hyesu4403@icloud.com From June 27th to 28th, senior (4th year) students from Sangmyung University’s Department of Theatre performed the Norwegian play ‘En folkefiende’ as part of the 31st Young Theatre Festival. Creating a Play from Scratch Under the supervision of Professor Lim-Hyung-Jin from the Department of Theatre, senior students were given a chance to complete the production of the play entirely from scratch, starting from directing, playwriting, lighting, production – all the way to acting. https://www.smu.ac.kr/webzine/today.do?mode=view&articleNo=737612&article.offset=10&articleLimit=10 El folkefiende, and the Societal Implications It Holds The theme of this year's Youth Theatre Festival was "Taking a Breath with Modern and Contemporary Plays." As COVID-19 has at last subsided and normal daily activities have finally started to become more possible over time in this post-pandemic era, the festival aimed to provide a sense of "relaxation" through theatrical arts for those who had a tough time, and to metaphorically convey the message that theater arts are once again "breathing” – perhaps as a remark on breathing freely without face masks for everyone. https://www.smu.ac.kr/webzine/today.do?mode=view&articleNo=737612&article.offset=10&articleLimit=10 Meanwhile, El folkefiende (Enemy of the People) is a play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen in 1882, set in a small Norwegian town in the late 19th century. The protagonist, Dr. Thomas Stockmann, discovers that the town's hot springs are polluted and insists on exposing the truth and taking social responsibility. However, the dominant figures in the town, along with the media and citizens, criticize Stockmann for making claims that go against their interests. Ultimately, Stockmann is branded as an enemy of the people and faces public condemnation in his quest to reveal the truth. Through El folkefiende, Ibsen portrays the clash of values between the majority and the minority, illustrating the resistance of the minority seeking truth against the blind majority driven by self-interest. The play highlights the importance of respecting the opinions of the minority, especially when the majority's judgment is not necessarily correct or competent. Jang Ji-Woon, Sangmyung University's student from Department of Theatre, playing a role of Dr. Thomas Stockmann for El folkefiende https://www.smu.ac.kr/webzine/today.do?mode=view&articleNo=737612&article.offset=10&articleLimit=10 A Moment to Remember “We wanted to contemplate a value of truth distorted by realistic issues in modern society through this performance,’ Yoon Seo-Jun, a senior student in the Department of Theatre who directed El folkefiende told Sangmyung University’s Communication Team. Professor Lim Hyeong-Jin, the project advisor, also stated that “El folkefiendeis a work by Ibsen that reflects a rebellious perspective on 19th-century society, encouraging serious contemplation on the contradictory relationship between power and truth commonly witnessed today between groups and individuals.” I contribute this article to commemorate the very moment in which such a socially meaningful play as El folkefiende was proudly produced by students of Sangmyung University and appreciate them for brightly showcasing our artistic eminence on the grand stage of the Korean theater scene.
