Vocalist Han Eunbin, School of Music, Took Home Two Awards From the 11th DIMF Musical Star


Han Eunbin, an alumnus of the Department of Vocal Music, School of Music, basked in the glory of winning both the Grand Prize and People’s Choice Award at the 11th Daegu International Music Festival (DIMF) Musical Star competition.

 

The DIMF concluded with a grand finale after the final round of the competition at the Daegu Opera House on June 7th. The fourteen finalist teams from across the globe staged performances, each offering their own interpretation.

Musical actors and actresses Nam Kyung-joo, Sung Gi-yun, Kim So-hyang, and Kim Bo-kyung, along with musical professionals Bae Seong-hyeok, Yoo Hee-sung, and Hong Bon-young, joined the jury committee, making the atmosphere even more heated.

 

Singing “Michael in the Bathroom” from the musical Be More Chill, Han Eunbin, the Grand Prize winner, drew rave reviews from both the jury and the audience by expressing the character’s psychological isolation and inner explosion with emotionally intense depth. Although Han, originally an opera major, was not as accustomed to musical acting, he delivered steady performances throughout the competition and earned high praise.

 

Han said, “This accomplishment means a lot to me, because I experienced the pain of losing in the final three years ago. I’m delighted that I can now move forward with confidence in my path as a musical actor.”

 

Executive Director Bae Seong-hyeok commented, “Every participant we meet at the competition each year is as astonishingly talented that we could consider them all winners. We will provide full support to help them spread their wings as musical performers.”
