Lorenza Silvestri, who watched the show, said, “I really like my daughter to dance along with K-Pop choreography. There is no place where you can learn K-Pop choreography professionally in Italy. As a parent, I was very happy that my daughter was able to receive professional education and to make new friends”.
Student Beatrice Soverini said, “We are so grateful that K-Pop experts are able to receive this high level of education and it is an unforgettable experience. I hope this opportunity will continue to be given to K-pop fans in Italy”.
Through this presentation, although it is a little weak compared to other countries in Europe, it was confirmed that the K-pop fever is gradually rising in Italy.
The Korean Cultural Center in Italy will continue the K-Pop Academy program to provide local K-pop fans with professional training.
