Choi Won Young and Han Jung Min, students from our university's Metal Crafts Department, have won the Marzee Graduate Prize at the 39th Marzee International Graduation Exhibition.

Galerie Marzee, established in 1979, is internationally renowned as the world's largest gallery specializing in contemporary jewelry.

Held annually from August to October, the Marzee International Graduate Exhibition is a key event for the gallery, aiming to widely showcase works by the new generation and foster communication with the public. Beginning in 1986 as a small exhibition involving major Dutch universities, it expanded to an international scale after 1995. It now annually exhibits selected works from renowned art universities worldwide and emerging artists, awarding the Marzee Graduate Prize to outstanding pieces.

Since 2007, approximately five graduates from Kookmin University's Department of Metal Crafts have been invited to exhibit annually. In 2025, nine graduates, including undergraduates and graduate students such as Choi Won Young and Han Jeong Min, were invited, demonstrating the department's recognized international standing and competitiveness.
