History

edit

After Yoo Jae-ha died on 1 November 1987, his family established the Yoo Jae-ha Music Scholarship Association in 1988, with proceeds from the sale of his first studio album Because I Love You.[3] The following year, in 1989, the first contest was held by the Yoo Jae-ha Music Scholarship Association, and Cho Kyu-chan became the grand prize winner of the first competition.[4] The competition is being held at Hanyang University's Baeknam Music Hall, Yoo Jae-ha's alma mater,[5] and it has been held every year since 1989 until present, except in 2005, when the competition was cancelled due to financial problems.[6]
