 On September 26, the Agricultural College Autumn Festival was held at the Agricultural Square in front of 75-1 building of the College of Agricultural Life Sciences. Under the title of "Farmers' Chuseok," booths, food trucks, and busking performances were held to give a sense of the upcoming Chuseok atmosphere. There are a total of five booths for the fall festival, including "Nongdae Absolute Taste," which seeks hidden flavors in sikhye, "Do you eat?" an ad-lib booth conducted by the Agricultural College Theater Club "Hyangrok," a large yut game "Salok vs. Life" conducted by the local student council, the breathing challenge booth of "CALSIAN," a promotion group for Agricultural College, "Hey, you can do Kalsian!" and "Life Nongcut," which was prepared by the Agricultural College Photo Club "Nokyoung," were operated to reveal the concept of Chuseok.

Chang Pan-sik, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, who attended the festival, said, "Everyone who participated in this festival is the main character, so I hope we can enjoy this opportunity to promote friendship and relieve academic stress."

Students who participated in the Agricultural College Festival met and listened to the stories of Hong Jeong-yoon and Choi Se-hoon, the 21st class of the Department of Biological Systems Materials, to see how they enjoyed the festival.

It is said that Hong Jeong-yoon's classmate heard his favorite song coming from the window while taking a class in the 200 building on the morning of the fall festival. At that time, he remembered that today was the day of the fall festival of Agricultural College, and as soon as the class was over, he ate lunch and went to the festival. It rained a lot that day, and despite the inclement weather, people were seen enjoying the festival in various booths, and they had a good time participating in several booths themselves. One of the festival booths' breathing challenges was memorable, and although he succeeded in the challenge, he was surprised to see the records of first, second, and third places. The highlight of the festival was busking." He heard that he liked the ballad that sounded calm because it was raining. Finally, Hong Jung-yoon's classmate said, "Thanks to everyone who prepared the performance and booth, I want to say thank you because I was able to take a break for a while."

Choi Se-hoon, a classmate, said that the festival was particularly memorable for the songs of busking participants who performed with selections suitable for the gloomy atmosphere, and expressed their impressions of the people who participated hard despite the rainy weather. However, he said he was disappointed that the small space or equipment that did not match the name of the festival, and the attendance rate of agricultural students, which was a little low, seemed to be regrettable. This seems to be inevitable because of the weather, he expressed regret. In fact, it was regrettable that the busking banners used at this festival had humanities signs and other elements that covered the color of the agricultural college. Choi Se-hoon said, "I hope the next festival will be a festival that not only agricultural students but also students from other colleges want to participate," and expressed hope that it will be reborn as a festival where more students can participate through various improvements.
