November 29th, 2024, was a memorable night for the SUNY Korea community. The annual Year-End Party was held at the IGC Banquet Hall, where many students, staff, and faculty gathered to celebrate and close out the year. This year’s theme was Casino, and the games and dress code were aligned with the casino theme.
During the party, there was a talent show along with special guest appearances to electrify the crowd. There were a total of 9 performances, all of which were fantastic and showed a new side of people many didn't know existed. The attendees enjoyed finger foods and holiday desserts throughout the event and played a variety of casino-inspired games to win prizes. It was the perfect way to close out the year.
The talent show was undoubtedly one of the evening's highlights, featuring captivating performances including a looping DJ, a band performance by our talented faculty members, and many more outstanding performances. Each act showcased the incredible talents and creativity within the SUNY Korea community, leaving the audience mesmerized and cheering for more. Among the standout performances, U-Do Band took first place with a remarkable singing performance accompanied by piano, followed by 1018 with a lovely duet dance performance. Third place went to Bohyeon Lee, who showcased an excellent singing voice. In addition to the talent on stage, the night celebrated personal style with the Best Dressed Award, recognized the most voted individuals with the People of the Year Award, and honored those who won the most chips in the casino games.
The Year-End Party was an unforgettable event for everyone, offering a brief but refreshing break from the hectic schedules of wrapping up the semester.
