The '2026 Hi1 Resort Asia Model Festival - Face of Korea Kids & Junior' was successfully held on the afternoon of the 24th at the Hi1 Resort Convention Center in Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do.

Kim So-dam, who won the Hi1 Resort Water World Award at this event, shared the glorious moment by taking commemorative photos with Moon Chang-hoon, head of the Overseas Marketing Team at Gangwon Land.

The event was co-hosted by the Asia Model Festival Organizing Committee (Chairman Yang Eui-sik, AMFOC) and the Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (President Park Chang-sik, KOFICE), and was sponsored by Hi1 Resort and the Korea Makeup Professional Exchange Association (Chairman Ahn Mi-ryeo).

Designed as an educational model festival encompassing fashion, culture, and the arts that goes beyond a simple model competition, 'Face of Korea Kids & Junior' drew enthusiastic responses from both participants and audience members.

In particular, a congratulatory performance by the AFSTARS dance performance team and a special K-pop program stage operated by the Asia Model Festival Global Training Center further enhanced the significance of the event.
