Jury Excellence Award – 2026 Youth Human Rights Video Contest

The Nearest Dark - Under the Lamp

Oct. 2026

A four-part documentary series on the rights of North Korean-background children and youth, created by four student members of Two for One Music. Each episode explores one right (to education, to belong, to be recorded, and to be connected) through the students' own dreams in astronomy, art, theater, and physics.

The film received the Jury Excellence Award, the highest award conferred, at the 2026 Video Content Contest for Unification and the Human Rights of North Korean Children and Youth, whose top prize is South Korea's Minister of Unification Award.

Entries were selected by an expert jury in journalism and academia, with final review by the Ministry of Unification.

Our Mission

As Two for One Music, a youth-led community service organization, we advocate for the protection of children’s rights worldwide and the peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula through the power of music.

We believe every child deserves to live in freedom, dignity, and peace. Yet around the world, millions of children still face war, poverty, and discrimination. On the Korean Peninsula, decades of division have separated families and silenced the dreams of many young people.

To bridge these divides, we organize public events that blend art and action—such as benefit concerts promoting unity, music education for underprivileged youth, and donation campaigns supporting young North Korean refugees. Through these efforts, we strive to raise global awareness, inspire compassion, and build a shared vision of peace for future generations.

Music transcends borders. It connects hearts, amplifies hope, and reminds us that harmony—like peace—begins when we listen to one another.

2026 Voices for Peace & Rights Campaign

July 2026

Now in its second year, Voices for Peace & Rights is a student-made campaign that asks us to see North Korean youth not as people to pity, but as peers with the same dreams. Under the 2026 theme "Hear Them. Stand With Them.," students from 14 schools lent their voices to this short campaign film.
