UCB Organizing Committee : Jin-soo Kim

I have enjoyed costume play since I was in high school. As an adult, I was a director of the professional costume play team called Team CSL and a team leader for the costume play team called 2AO Design. And I was able to be with the Seoul POPCON team through this connection.

When I was in the team, my main role was in charge of costume photography / video production and operation. When a game company asked me to do a costume request, I recruited a model that matched game character, and worked on creating a costume, photos and videos in a studio or outdoors.

Unlike other cosplay competitions, I think UCB is a production-focused competition. The competition regulations also measure the proportion of self-production very high. For that reason, we will focus on evaluating the production skills of those who produce themselves and how faithfully they reflect the original work in their costume, and we will proceed with the following three points.

First, we will evaluate the quality of the costumes and props. Since it's a production, I think the quality of the finished outfits and props is the most important, so I'm going to focus on those parts.

Second, we will evaluate how faithfully they expressed the characters. In the case of images and makeup, there will be people who faithfully reflect the character, and there will be people who put on makeup that suits them, and we will focus on those parts by comparing them with the character.

Lastly, the point of evaluation is related to the performance of the stage performance. When you come on stage, we will focus on how colorful you can express this cosplay you produced.
