Kimpo University’s Practical Music Department, under the College of Future Convergence, contributed to the soundtrack of the Korea-Philippines joint film Finding Santos to mark the 76th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations. The film stars Jang Tae-oh, who gained attention from Solo Hell 4, and Filipino girl group YGIG’s Mag, with a reel of film scenes drawing widespread attention and more than 40 million views.

Under the guidance of Baek Seung-sook, the department’s music director, the Practical Music Department students participated in OST vocal performances, instrumental performances, and BGMs, thereby elevating the project’s overall production quality.

Kimpo University’s Practical Music Department head Yoon Byung-jin stated that the program will continue to offer opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in global settings, and hoped this participation would be a meaningful experience for aspiring musicians.

The department also notes that through coursework and industry-academic collaboration projects, it supports students in releasing sound sources for broadcasts and advertisements, helping to advance their music careers and industry presence.
