Theme “Free your inner character” SkinS Festival is about the freedom to
choose the character you want to be. Music & Graphic Novels are vital pillars of popular culture and also recognized
as a form of art that can be consumed on its own and in combination with
other medium such as film or games. The soundtrack sets the mood for the
scene as audience cognitively recognize and anticipate what is
going to happen next based on the perfect composition of the right song.
With SkinS Festival, it is the first of its kind of storytelling experiential event
and it might even be mind boggling to believe that music can be illustrated in
a graphic novel format, and interact with real life at the festival. SkinS Festival
worked together with its official skincare sponsor Skincalories to tell the story
about how music heals Magda and allows for her to explore what character in
life she wants to be, since “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and
women merely players”
At SkinS Festival, we see Magda begin her heroes’ journey as she gets
inspired by the Kpop / Hip Hop music performed by Giant Pink, Kevin Woo &
Jannine Weigel to pursue a career in the music industry.
Kevin Woo is a Korean-American singer, actor, TV host, and Influencer,
currently based in South Korea and Japan. He is most notably recognized fom
the K-Pop idol group U-KISS, which debuted in 2008. For over a decade,
Kevin actively promoted chart-topping albums, led successful tours around
the world in over 30 countries, starred in musicals and more. In 2017, Kevin
made his mark as a solo artist, actively touring internationally, and sharing his
passion of music and artistry.
Giant Pink is a rising South Korean rapper, currently a member of hip-hop
label AIKM under SM Entertainment and was the winner of hip-hop
competition show Unpretty Rapstar 3.
