SEOUL, March 03 (AJP) - First-grade students wearing paper crowns attend their entrance ceremony for the 2026 academic year at Wonchon Elementary School in Seocho District, Seoul, on Monday.
The new students took commemorative photos with their families at a designated photo zone before touring their classrooms and school grounds where they will spend the coming years.
Instead of delivering a traditional welcome speech, the school principal read aloud the children’s book “We Are the Most Popular First Graders,” drawing the students’ focused attention as they listened with bright, curious expressions.
A total of 186 students enrolled at Wonchon Elementary School this year. Following the ceremony, students gathered in their respective classrooms for their first greetings with homeroom teachers and classmates. As the new semester begins, elementary schools across the city marked another fresh start amid the early signs of spring.
