The autumn festival this year was held from September 18th to the 20th under the name 'Magic Hour.' The street booths and flea market were only held on the 18th and 19th due to the weather conditions on the third day, while the performances took place on the 19th and 20th. On the 19th, various club performances, including bands, dance groups, and music clubs, were showcased. The artists on the 19th, such as Daybreak and Soran, adorned the stage and received much love from the students. As for the performances on the 20th, first was the students’ performances. They had the opportunity to shine their talents with various dance and band performances. Unfortunately, it rained on the 20th, which posed several challenges, but the students who had prepared their best managed to impress the audience. In the evening, there were artist performances by Kim Nayoung and Paul Kim. Through the performances, we could admire talented students, and the artists' performances created a truly "magical" time that all students could enjoy. 

In addition to the festival performances, various events were held. There was an on-campus flea market and food trucks, allowing students to enjoy food before the festival or eat food at the square along with the performances. Moreover, at the flea market, students could look around and purchase a variety of items, from plushies and bags to accessories and caricatures. Furthermore, booths were set up by clubs and departments, adding to the lively atmosphere. In addition, the student council operated a "Reusable Container Rental" booth, which received widespread praise for being a very meaningful and innovative idea to reduce the use of disposable items from food trucks and the like.

Above all, The 'University president's life 4-cut booth photo' was the talk of the town. At Chung-Ang University, for every festival, they set up a 'Festival Frame' at a photo booth, allowing people to take photos with the festival frame. This time, they created a 'University president's Shot' with a photo of the university president alongside Puang, and because this was an innovative and unprecedented event, it generated a lot of excitement among not only current students but also students from other universities. This booth was extremely popular throughout the festival, with long lines forming all day for a chance to take a photo.
