An admissions information fair for examinees preparing to enter performing arts fields such as theater and musicals will be held on the 29th. The '2026 Korean University Theater Major Admissions Information Concert,' co-hosted by the Korean Council of University Theater Professors and the Young Theater Festival Executive Committee, will be held at the Small Theater in the Management Building of Sungkyunkwan University.
Marking its third year, this event is designed as a venue where faculty members from theater and performance-related majors at 33 universities nationwide meet directly with examinees and parents. The event features a wide range of participants, including universities in the metropolitan area as well as regional universities, with institutions belonging to the Korean Council for University Education and the Korean Council for Industrial Universities participating together.
A notable change in this year's event is the scheduling of the Q&A sessions. Previously, there were criticisms that students could not ask enough questions because the sessions were divided into three sections of 10 universities each; this time, the sessions have been adjusted to four sections of 7 to 8 universities each to ensure sufficient Q&A time for each university. Topics that examinees are actually curious about, such as practical exams, acting, special talents, same-day scripts, appearance and image, and grades, will be covered. For examinees who have relied on fragmented admissions information, this appears to be a significant opportunity to directly verify verified information.
Booths for each participating university will also be operated at the entrance of the space where the talk concert is held. Examinees can visit the booths to receive one-on-one consultations and obtain information regarding each university's ideal talent profile and curriculum.
Kim Hyun-hee, President of the Korean Council of University Theater Professors (Sungkyunkwan University Department of Acting Arts), said, "The core of this event is to help students dreaming of becoming future artists escape fragmented information and design the right career path based on verified admissions information." She added, "As it is a place where major universities nationwide gather, it will be a meaningful opportunity for students preparing for theater major admissions."
Kim Jung-geun, Executive Chairman of the Young Theater Festival (Daekyung University Department of Acting Arts), stated, "It has become important for examinees to find an educational curriculum that matches their aptitude and goals." He expressed, "I hope this admissions information concert serves as a practical compass for prospective artists to clearly understand the essence of the practical evaluations pursued by each university and to establish their admissions strategies."
Meanwhile, the Young Theater Festival is a university theater festival that began in 1993 and has continued for 34 years, with approximately 1,500 students from about 50 universities nationwide participating and presenting performances every year.
