What is 'Ggum Irang'...
‘Ggum Irang’ is a portmanteau combining ‘Irang’ (furrow) and
‘Ggum’ (dreams), thus becoming ‘furrow of dreams’ in Korean
that metaphorically symbolizes a place for students who can
nurture their dreams and hopes for the future, as if farmers
are pulling a plough through a field and making furrows,
while longing for a thriving harvest.
