SK Broadband will stage the 2026 Blossom Youth Music Festival to give young musicians a platform to showcase their potential and pursue their dreams. Any music-loving person under 19 may apply. The company says the festival is intended to encourage emerging talent as they advance toward their goals.
On the 14th, SK Broadband announced the launch of the 2026 festival to support young people with musical talent and passion.
SK Broadband is producing the event in partnership with LOVE FNC, Dreamus Company and MakeUs’ Dingo Music.
Lee Jong-ho, head of SK Broadband’s Corporate Center, said the festival will offer talented youth a valuable stage to demonstrate their abilities.
He added that SK Broadband will remain a reliable partner, backing promising young artists as they chase their ambitions.
The 2026 Blossom Youth Music Festival will connect aspiring artists with the broader K-culture industry.
Since it debuted in 2022, the Blossom festival has captured the musical ambition of roughly 1,000 young people over four years.
Past winners have used the exposure to clarify career paths and pursue professional music training, enrolling in arts high schools and practical-music programs at major universities.
This year’s theme is “Realizing Dreams.”
Organizers plan to open media platforms and entertainment infrastructure to youths who lack live performance experience or opportunities to promote their original songs, giving them stages where their work can take shape.
This year, Dingo Music—known for producing live content—has joined the Blossom alliance, raising expectations.
With Dingo Music, a platform with about 5.5 million subscribers, participants can gain professional-level content-production experience and broad public exposure.
The festival’s participant benefits focus on tangible development.
The eight teams that reach the finals will take part in a one-night, two-day music camp in Chuncheon, where FNC Entertainment experts will provide hands-on mentoring.
Dreamus Company will support the finalists’ original songs and release them as official tracks, distributing them across major domestic services including Flo, Melon, Genie and Bugs.
The new Dingo Music Award will fund production of a high-quality live video—the “Dingo Music Special Live”—giving the winning team a platform to connect with listeners.
Any individual or team under 19 who loves music may enter the 2026 Blossom Youth Music Festival.
Applicants should submit an original song of roughly three minutes, plus a live video, via the festival’s official blog; entries are welcome in any genre.
Applications open on the 15th and close on the 30th of next month. Details are posted on the official blog.
Blossom began as an anti-bullying and cyberbullying campaign, “Blossom Together,” launched by SK Broadband with EBS. What started as a psychological support tool for young people has, in four years, evolved into a K-pop talent incubator.
The Chuncheon site for the music camp is SK Broadband’s Chuncheon Training Center (Talent Development Center), a nonpublic facility equipped with advanced media and creative spaces originally designed for employee training.
Dingo Music is a global platform that produced the “Killing Voice” program, which top artists such as IU and AKMU have appeared on. Its high-quality live-video broadcasts reach about 5.5 million fans worldwide, making it a gateway to broader recognition.
