Annual Ko-Yon-Jeon (Korea-Yonsei Games),
Competition and Friendship that Lead Korea

Each fall, Jamsil Stadium comes alive with the competition and friendship between longstanding rivals Korea University and Yonsei University. The origin of the Games dates back to the Japanese colonial period when the two rivals Bosung College and Yonhi College began holding sporting events that helped many Korean people endure the hardships of colonial rule. Over the past 80 years, Ko-Yon-Jeon has radiated the burning passion of youth, having become a festival of not simply two universities, but also the whole country. Today, together with the five matches of football (soccer), baseball, basketball, ice hockey, and rugby, the Games have developed into a variety of celebrations such as joint academic and broadcasting events and exchanges among departments and clubs. Ko-Yon-Jeon and the two prestigious rival universities will continue in everlasting friendship.

Over the past 80 years, since the period of Japanese colonial rule, Ko-Yon-Jeon has radiated the burning passion youth, having become a festival of not only two universities, but also the whole country.
