On November 28, 2024, students majoring in humanities, culture and arts planning at Incheon National University participated in the 28th Bupyeong Pungmuldae Festival to discuss and present the results of their research so that many young people can participate interestingly and feel the meaning of the festival.

Incheon National University's Department of Undeclared Majors for International Students, which was newly established to expand the convergence curriculum in 2024, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Bupyeong-gu Festival Committee on June 16 for cultural development in Incheon Metropolitan City. 

Incheon National University, a national university based in Incheon, commissioned the "Bupyeong Pungmul Festival Research Group" consisting of undergraduate students majoring in humanities, culture and arts planning to contribute to the development of the Bupyeong Pungmul Festival, one of Incheon's representative festivals.  

The research team participated in Incheon's representative festival, the Bupyeong Pungmuldae Festival, and conducted research on why college students in their 20s are not interested and what is needed to make them more interested in local and regional festivals.

To this end, they participated in a preliminary data survey and participated in the 29th Bupyeong Pungmul Grand Festival for two nights and three days from the moment they opened the eight lanes of Bupyeong-daero at 12 p.m. on Friday before the festival began to the closing ceremony on Sunday, and after the festival, they gathered together to discuss what they saw, felt, and learned. 

Incheon National University's Free Convergence Major College will continue to support students majoring in connection to participate with interest in the Incheon area, and students will continue various activities such as participating in cultural activities such as the Incheon Metropolitan City Festival, planning, developing capabilities, sharing ideas for local communities, and seeking future development directions. 

The presentation will be held at the Cube Hall of Incheon National University from 5:30 p.m. on November 28, 2024.
