[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Department of Fine Arts (Chair Jo Eun-jung) at Mokpo National University (President Park Min-seo) announced on the 5th that it will hold the 39th Graduation Exhibition, "Ending Credit."

This graduation exhibition serves as a presentation of graduation works in place of a thesis, featuring 33 works by 13 students majoring in Visual Design and 20 students majoring in Plastic Painting.

The "Ending Credit," exhibited for two weeks from the 5th to the 19th, can be viewed at the Mokpo National University 70th Anniversary Memorial Hall Exhibition Room, the Mokpo National University Museum, and the Dorim Gallery of the Department of Fine Arts at Mokpo National University.

Additionally, the exhibition, which had previously been held only offline, will be presented in a new format using an online platform. This attempt marks a new turning point for future exhibition activities of the Department of Fine Arts at Mokpo National University.

Kim Cheol-woong, Dean of the College of Life Sciences, Arts, and Physical Education, stated, "As modern civilization develops and living environments become more affluent, our lives are becoming closely connected with art," adding, "I believe this exhibition holds great significance for future artists who will lead new fields of art in the 21st century."

Jo Eun-jung, Chair of the Department of Fine Arts, said, "This year involved a difficult preparation process in many ways. Due to COVID-19, face-to-face classes and guidance were limited, so students could not fully enjoy school facilities and environments, and professors had to endure the physical constraints of the online environment while seeking individual work guidance and support measures," adding, "While evaluation is up to the viewers, considering the use of various media, depth of themes, and completeness of individual works, I believe this exhibition is more praiseworthy than ever before."
