This event is jointly hosted by the Korean University Theater Department Professors' Association and the Young Theater Festival, marking its second year following last year's inaugural edition. A key feature of the event is the talk concert format, where attendees can learn about each university's practical exam types and admission processes. On-site, there will be both talk concerts and mini-talk programs, and participants can receive direct counseling from professors at each university's promotional booth.

The Department of Acting and Performing Arts at Daejin University (President Jang Seokhwan) will be represented by Professors Hwang Yeonhui, Jang Kyungsoon, and An Jungmin. All three professors are active practitioners in the field, integrating their real-world experience into the curriculum to cultivate practical talent ready to work immediately in the industry.

Notably, despite the challenging job market in the arts, this department was recognized as having the highest employment rate in Daejin University's 2023 internal departmental evaluation. At this concert, the department will introduce essential educational courses covering playwriting, directing, staff work, and acting, as well as emphasize the importance of linking education with field experience across the performing arts.

The event targets approximately 2,000 participants, including acting and theater staff applicants, prospective theater majors, parents, and teachers from theater clubs and acting academies. Registration is available through "Play Ticket."

Professor Hwang Yeonhui of Daejin University's Department of Acting and Performing Arts stated, "We will do our best to support and encourage the dreams of young people who will lead the Korean arts scene, and to ensure that this admission information concert is a meaningful experience for all applicants."
