Now in its third year, the Blossom Youth Music Festival was organized through a partnership between SK Broadband and LOVE FNC, a non-profit public foundation under FNC Entertainment, under the slogan "Singing Our Happiness."

Until June, youth participants submitted original music compositions, with over 200 students nationwide forming a total of 103 teams. After preliminary judging, nine teams advanced to the finals.

At the final competition held on the 31st of last month at Seoul Seongam Art Hall, the grand prize was awarded to the soul band who performed the song "View." The participating students of the soul band shared, "Since the members are all high school seniors busy with college entrance exams, we gave our best for this last memory and are happy with the good result."

The event was hosted by singer Bora and Na Camden, a member of the group Ampersand One, who spent meaningful time mentoring and giving special lectures to the students during the final preparation period. The final judging panel included composers Jung Jin-wook and Seo Ji-eun, who contributed to the OST of the drama "Seonjae Upgo Twieo."

The grand prize and excellence award-winning works from the 2024 Blossom Youth Music Festival will be released as music tracks on the streaming platform FLO. SK Broadband will actively support music promotion using its own media channels such as B tv and B tv Cable. The final performance of this music festival will be broadcast as a one-hour program on B tv within this month, and it will also be actively promoted to local communities through B tv Cable programs.

Jo Young-ho, head of ESG promotion at SK Broadband, said, "Through the 2024 Blossom Youth Music Festival, we aimed to provide young people with opportunities to express their voices through music and experience various forms of happiness. We will continue to support the dreams and passions of youth."
