On April 27, Korea University (KU) Weekly posted an Instagram news reel highlighting challenges faced by Sejong Campus students. It noted a rise in students taking Seoul Campus courses as part of the secondary major program over the past three years, many facing financial strain from transportation and tuition. The news sparked discussion on the Seoul Campus Everytime board, where most users expressed unfavorable views. On the Everytime free board, many users argued that although the two campuses share the same name, they do not want to be associated with Sejong Campus due to differences in admissions standards, insisting that any resulting burdens should be borne solely by Sejong Campus students without support from the Seoul Campus.

Outside the online outrage, The Granite Tower (GT) interviewed Park Yujin (‘25, Computer Science and Engineering). She stated, “I respect Sejong Campus students who take secondary majors in Seoul because I’ve seen how hard they study—often even harder than I do. I also have close friends from there, and they take pride in where they come from.” However, she recalled memories where some students conceal their campus, which she considered disrespectful to both campuses. She added that, ultimately, it is up to Sejong Campus to ease the burden on these students. More fundamentally, the issue reveals an ongoing identity clash between Seoul and Sejong Campuses, calling into question whether the two campuses can truly function as a single university under unequal conditions.
