The K-Beauty Stylist Department at Kyungnam Information College, which has been making its mark at international beauty competitions as if they were local events, is also focusing on educational initiatives that grow together with the local community.

Kyungnam Information College (President Kim Taesang) announced on June 26 that students from its K-Beauty Stylist Department not only won numerous awards, including the Grand Prix, at the recently held "2026 World Beauty Festival (WBF)," but also operated a work experience program for adult learners in the region.

The students achieved outstanding results at a competition held at the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry in May. First-year student Jeon Yeowon won the Total Grand Prix, while students Kim Hyebin and Kim Haeun each received Grand Prix awards in their respective categories. In addition, first-year student Lee Ahjeong and second-year student Kim Jooyoung received the National Assembly Member's Award. Most of the participating students were recognized for their skills, with five winning the Grand Prize, fifteen receiving Gold Prizes, and eleven earning Silver Prizes.

The department continued its activities by connecting these competition achievements to the educational field and the local community. On June 21, as part of Busan City's RISE project, the "Local Talent Growth Bridge Program" was held, offering career experience events for local adult learners and students from the Kyungnam Girls' High School Affiliated Broadcasting and Communication High School.

Participants had the opportunity to directly experience K-beauty-related work such as perfume making, walking techniques, and photo posing, helping them to better understand related careers and career paths.

Jung Cheolsun, head of the K-Beauty Stylist Department, said, "It is meaningful that the practical competencies our students have steadily built up have resulted in excellent outcomes at international competitions. We will not only nurture K-beauty talent with global competitiveness, but also expand educational programs for local adult learners, creating a department that grows together with the community."
