Through this agreement, they plan to incubate Daat's representative work, the musical "Dad in Wonderland," foster talent to participate in the production, and jointly develop new musicals in the future.
This project, which will be produced mainly by the Department of Musical Entertainment at the Im Kwon Taek College of Film and Arts at Dongseo University, will bring together young artistic talents from Busan. The focus will be on incubating the musical "Dad in Wonderland," which was successfully staged in 2024. It is expected to help solve the current challenges faced by the musical industry in research and development by collaborating with the university, while also contributing to the development of local culture. In addition, the cast will be mainly composed of members from Dongseo Musical Entertainment, an in-school virtual company (IFS) at Dongseo University, creating local, community-based jobs for young aspiring artists.
With this agreement, Daat and Dongseo University have agreed to actively cooperate in ▲ joint development of musical and cultural content works ▲ joint training of musical production personnel ▲ mutual research and development of new programs.
In the future, the field campus will be utilized in connection with the Glocal University Project and the Regional Innovation-led University Support System (RISE) project, providing students with hands-on broadcasting experience and education.
