Ajou's student team of the Department of Korean Language and Literature and the Department of Culture and Contents wins an award at the Story Theme Park Contest

2015-12-07


An Ajou University Team consisting of Da Bin Jung (Department of Korean Language and Literature) and Jeong Eun Park, Yeong Eun Seo, and Hye Rin Jeong (Department of Culture and Contents) won the Special Award at the '2015 Content Contest for the Story Theme Park,' which is hosted by the Advanced Center for Korean Studies (ACKS), with their work "Do You Know What Love Is?"


The '2015 Content Contest for the Story Theme Park' invited cultural content plans from university students across the nation that are in the form of film, drama, animation, comics, publication, performance, or exhibition and can be commercialized. From among them, applications to be evaluated were selected in a preliminary review. The selected applicants were then asked to develop their works based on lectures on creating works by relevant experts and on-site experiences at traditional cultural sites that were provided by the organizers. In the last phase, award-winners were chosen in an evaluation of the developed works. Eleven teams were selected as the candidates for the preliminary evaluation from among 51 applicants, and, of them, 8 teams survived the four-month-long mentoring, with 3 teams being eliminated. One team received the Award of the Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, another team won the Award of the Chairman of ACKS, and the other six teams won the Special Award.


"Do You Know What Love Is?" is a play about a university student, who is poor at love, learns dating skills with the help of three Kings from the Chosun Dynasty – Sejong, Seongjong, and Yeonsangun – who were reborn. The play is different from existing ones with a one-way format in that it involves the participation of the audience, and is designed to allow the audience to enjoy their participation.
