As scouts from all over the world leave the Saemangeum territory in Jeonbuk and move across the country, some universities that have decided to accommodate them are frowning, demanding unilateral cooperation, such as handing over empty beds in shared rooms already used by dormitory students to scouts. are buying According to the Hankyoreh coverage on the 8th, the University of Seoul, where 560 scouts unpack their luggage, was not enough with empty rooms, so even empty beds in shared rooms where students already lived were given to scouts. The university told the dormitory students this morning, “The participants are mostly teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19, except for some leaders. I sent a text message with the message, “Please welcome me as warmly as you are young friends I met unexpectedly.” However, when the notice suddenly came down just a few hours before the scouts arrived, the university’s online community was flooded with reactions of bewilderment. One student asked, “The government takes 100 billion won and throws away the national title on the tidal flats, and public university students do the probation.” .

The University of Seoul informed internal students that it was difficult to use the student cafeteria due to problems with Jamboree participant support.

The university also suspends the operation of the student cafeteria on campus until the 11th to support the Jamboree participants, and there are complaints about this. One student said, “I’m a learned person to save money, but there was no announcement,” and another student said, “Jamboree participants come because they come, so why do I have to endure this?” Among some current students, there was also a sarcasm of ‘communism’. As the dissatisfaction inside and outside the school did not subside, Won Yong-geol, president of City University, told the dormitory students this afternoon, “People from all over the world are paying attention, and it is more important than ever to finish our event smoothly.” It comes back, but I ask for your understanding.” Myongji University caused controversy by announcing two hours in advance that male scouts were allowed to enter the female-only dormitory floor. A student living in a dormitory at Myongji University said, “I think scouts can use the dormitory, but I am angry that they are notified unilaterally on the same day that even the issue of co-education on the same floor is available.” Incheon University did not notify the students residing in the dormitory by text message, etc., but posted a post inside the dormitory building saying ‘Scouts are staying’, and there was a backlash. On this day, the city of Seoul announced that 3,090 scouts will be dispersed and accommodated in dormitories at 12 universities in the city. In the case of universities such as Korea University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Hanyang University, it is said that there is no great difficulty in students using empty dormitories as accommodations during vacation.
