It has been found that the number of applicants for the 2027 regular admission cycle has increased yearonyear at Pusan National University, Chonnam National University, and Chungnam National University, which were selected as universities to receive focused government support under the “Build 10 Seoul National Universities” initiative. According to an analysis by Jongro Academy, the total number of applicants for the three universities' regular admissions was 99,883, up 11.6% from the same period last year. Pusan National University saw the largest increase, with 41,417 applicants, and Chungnam National University and Chonnam National University also recorded increases. This project is an education policy aimed at easing concentration in the Seoul metropolitan area by developing nine regional flagship national universities to the level of Seoul National University. The Ministry of Education plans to provide these three universities with about 70 billion won per year until 2030. Meanwhile, at the application deadline on the day, a system error occurred on the UwayApply system, delaying applications and payments for some test takers, and the relevant universities extended the deadline by one hour.
