Theme: OVERFL0W

Have you ever heard of the term “Overflow”? In computer programming, it refers to an error that occurs when data exceeds the memory capacity of a system. A famous example is the Y2K scare—when fears arose that systems would fail as the year rolled over from 1999 to 2000, exceeding the two-digit format used for storing years. In short, even a single extra value can cause an entire system to crash.

This year’s theme, “Overflow,” draws inspiration from this concept—not just in a technical sense, but as a metaphor for moments when we exceed our own limits or challenge the boundaries of society. What happens when we go beyond what’s expected? Through two sessions, we’ll explore how just one bold idea can overflow the status quo and spark real change.

Eunsol HWANG

Student | 망한과제 자랑대회 학생 연사

With his bright and inviting energy, he has a natural way of bringing people together and creating new opportunities. He once took a bold step by running for student council president, but what followed was an unexpected failure and a wave of controversy. It was a tough blow, and for a moment, his resolve was shaken. But he didn’t walk away. Instead, he held onto the reason he started and chose to stay—leading the team through the storm. In doing so, he learned what it truly means to take responsibility, even when things don’t go as planned. The experience still leaves its mark, but rather than turning away, he chooses to face it. Because he knows now—failure isn’t something to hide. It’s part of the process. And that’s exactly why Eunsol Hwang will continue to take on challenges, without fear.
