After the mid-tern exam ends, in a cold winter, in the end of October, some students are bringing their partners, having fun, laughing and cheerfully talking to each other to the school party. However, you, unable to get any partner, walk lonely to the party alone, feeling sad and depressed. Do you really think the partner system of Minjok Festival is appropriate for everyone in this school and create more fun atmosphere than depressing ambience? Really?!Please post a comment if you agree with this idea!

This is a school party to let students enjoy between all those long and boring studying for mid-term exam of SAT. However, if there are people who would be depressed from not getting any partner, this party does not serve its purpose.

We do understand that the partner system has some sorts of merit, like being able to get close to the other sex. The essential problem occurs when no one asks you out, because it not only makes you discouraged to go th the party and enjoy, but also makes it difficult for you to concentrate on your studies. Feeling embarrassed, you try to go and find a different boy that possibly might take you out, but all of their answers are things like, 'no', 'sorry', 'maybe next time'. Not only girls, but boys also encounter the exactly same problem. Action must now take place, I suppose, for the sake of enjoying the party we are just about to ruin.

Another problem that occurs because of the partner system in the Minjok Festival is the after-effect of the party. After a night partying with your 'partner', you will likely to develop a nice feeling towards that person. This may lead, and develop to a relationship. Especially concerning the fact that KMLA forbids dating and relationship, this will be a big problem. Teachers will have a hard time restricting and punishing students.

I pioneered on making a suggestion on KMLA online, and it was then that all the other students started to post comments on my post, at its peak reaching 55 comments, all of them long enough to become essays. I was so shocked by this passion and I decided to directly contact the student board as soon as possible to let them know about how students feel about this partner system of Minjok Festival.
The elected President of KMLA kept trying to dictate over all the students and keep the partner system, just because it would be entertaining and create a lot of couples and would eventually make this school life much more energetic and lively, which was obviously his own thoughts. However, I kept on arguing with huge pacts of students' ideas and how majority of students feel about this. Also, I told them that the President should put this into vote before he decides on anything. In the end, the President finally abolished this system, making the Minjok Festival much more entertaining for everybody!
