A Kookmin University design team, known as Holy, emerged victorious at the 2026 Korea AI Content Festival, taking home the grand prize in the music video category. The team was honored for their creation, titled "Epos," which was chosen as the top submission out of a staggering 225 entries at the festival's award ceremony held at Seoul's Construction Building on August 6th. "Epos" was commended for its innovative approach, compelling narrative, and adept integration of artificial intelligence technology.
The Holy team, consisting of five undergraduate students from the AI Design Department at Kookmin University's College of Design, includes Kim Se-hyun, Lee Song-won, Yoon Hee-won, Seong Yeon-woo, and Han Ji-woo. Team representative Seong expressed her belief that AI-generated works hold value in the questions they pose, the messages they communicate, and the direction in which they are guided.
She further elaborated, stating that the award acknowledges the team's ongoing reflection on the message, concept, and direction of their work, rather than solely focusing on the technology used.
