University Flower

Mugunghwa (Rose of Sharon), an emblem of the Korean ethnic group, is also Daejin University’s official flower.
Mugunghwa blooms every early morning between July and October for a hundred days. The ecological trait of Mugunghwa well represents our ethnicity which never fades.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas - a Chinese classic text, describes Korea as a country where Mugunghwa blossoms and falls.

University Color

The color blue refers to a deep heart (generosity) like ocean, purity, and cleanliness; it also represents contemplation, sincere wish, and eternity. Blue is used to mean freshness or uncharted happiness, which can be seen in “cheonggwa” (As “cheong” means “blue,” the word means “fresh fruits”) and “cheongun” (The word means “aspirations”).
As the phrase “Boys, be ambitious” indicates, the color encourages us to have our dreams, symbolizing the youth’s willingness and spirits. Therefore, blue represents the spirits of Daejin University’s students, who strive to devote themselves to the neighborhood with their generous hearts and contribute to developing the nation and human race by sacrificing themselves.
