KT&G (CEO Min Young-jin) is recruiting a “Dream Crew” of university students to plan the “Sangsang (Imagination) Realization Festivals” until August 18.

The “Dream Crew” is to participate in the planning stage of the Sangsang Realization Festivals to be held this coming November, and to organize the whole festival process together, such as performing activities, as operational staffers on the day of the event. Prior to organizing the event, the crew is to develop the required capabilities through education and field training linked to a specialized performing arts agency.

Entry is open to all university students who are interested in planning performing arts and festivals. All they have to do is to fill out the applications and submit them on the website (www.sangsanguniv.com). Ten students will be selected through document screening and interviews, and they will be provided with a sum of money to cover activity-related expenses and meals at every regular meeting, and issued with certificates of participation after the activities have ended.

The “Sangsang Realization Festival,” which marks its second anniversary, this year is a combined cultural festival organized by rookies selected for the three areas of bands, photography, and short films, together with older artists, and is a program that is aimed at discovering amateur artists with limited opportunities to perform on the stage and assisting them in realizing their imaginations.

A KT&G official said, “The ‘Dream Crew’ is not a mere volunteer group, but provides opportunities to experience performances in general, such as planning, hands-on practice, and operation,” adding that “we hope university students who dream of planning cultural and performing arts will become other protagonists who realize their imaginations through these activities.”
