The "Shining Stars from Ajou University" display was unveiled on the wall of the University's Yeonam Hall.

The display contains the stories of eight Ajou University alumni, including the late Pil Sang Hwang (Department of Mechanical Engineering, entrance class of 1973), a member of the first graduation class who donated all of his assets as well as his own body.

The display also introduces the philosophies of President Eon Tae Ha (Department of Industrial Engineering, entrance class of 1980) from Hyundai Motor Company and Jin Mo Kang (Department of Physics, entrance class of 1988), who founded the IT services provider ITCENGROUP.

Former star soccer player Jung Hwan Ahn (Department of Business Administration, entrance class of 1994), Professor Ji Hwan Lee (Department of Industrial Engineering, entrance class of 1999) from Purdue University in the U.S., and Judge Yu Ri Shin (Department of Law, entrance class of 2002, graduate of the Law School) are also featured in the work.

Other alumni introduced in the display include Yoon Geun Song (Department of Culture and Contents, entrance class of 2012) and Da Bin Jeong (Department of Korean Language and Literature, entrance class of 2012), who are running the video content creation company Bamboo Network, based on their experience of making a web drama as part of the Paran Semester Program – Ajou Creative Activity Program.

The display is part of the University's efforts to foster and spread its unique culture by interconnecting prominent Ajou alumni and to present role models for the current students.
