On April 12, a piece of writing was posted at Everytime, the university online community. "Someone called the police because the freshmen were making too much noise in Haneulmot, commonly called Baebongtang by the students, until late at night during their bedtime and recess, is that wrong? They just did right."
Late at night on April 12, students gathered in Baebongtang and made some noise. Since Haneulmot is located close to the dormitory, The noise was heard by the students in the dormitory. Then, the dormitory student who felt uncomfortable with the noise reported them to the police. Some students criticized it, saying that it was too much to report to the police, while others argued that they only did what they were supposed to do. Actually, Complaints from dormitory students affected by students' loud voices have been around for a long time. The school banned eating or drinking in Haneulmot, but it has already become a culture among students. The damage to dormitory students due to late-night loudness continued to exist, but there are no special regulations or measures for this behavior.
The UOS Times interviewed Choi Jeong-eun(Dept. of English language and literature, ’22), who is currently living in a dormitory. She said, "Not much, but sometimes, I can hear loud noises from Haneulmot when I am in the dormitory. It's okay during the day, but it bothers me at night." The debate on Every Time is rekindling this chronic problem. Students are more than welcomed to have fun on the campus, but not while causing disturbance to others
Even though it doesn't happen very often, someone continues to suffer. It seems that action is needed as soon as possible.
