On October 29, DSU and the Cultural Foundation of the National Museum of Korea signed an agreement to promote the arts and expand cultural enjoyment.

Through this agreement, a new version of the creative musical "The Song of Gaya," originally composed by Oh Sae-joon, will be performed for two days from December 7 to 8 at the Cultural Foundation of the National the Museum of Korea in Seoul.

Based on Gaya culture, "The Song of Gaya" explores and celebrates the harmony and symbolism of that historical period.

The musical was prepared through DSU's large-scale, customized industry-university cooperation LINC+ project.

Each year, this project identifies about ten projects that contribute to the local community and culture, and provides budget support.
In this case, "The Song of Gaya" was created by faculty and students in the DSU Musical Department through the Capstone Design support program.

In particular, this December performance will be a new version prepared by faculty and students from various departments at DSU, including from the Departments of Digital Contents and Fashion Design.

In this vein, the whole performance will be a modern fusion work that combines arts and technologies. Of special note are the newly reinterpreted costumes by Professor Yang Seong-won of the Fashion Design Department, the active role of Professor Cha Soon-ryae of the Musical Department, and the realization of a "smart performance" on stage made possible by VR/AR technology integrated into the performance through the help of Department of Digital Contents Professor Park Yeong-joon.

Dongseo University President Jekuk Chang said, "'The Song of Gaya' is very meaningful because it will restore forgotten history, introduce creative musicals to Seoul and contribute to the local culture of Busan."
He added, "We will also use this great opportunity to establish a company supporting cultural contents in Korea and abroad."
