The University of Rome La Sapienza hosted an exclusive talk show featuring prominent Korean television director Chang Tae You on Wednesday, November 5th. The event provided students studying Korean language and culture with a rare opportunity to interact directly with one of Korea's most celebrated drama directors.
Chang Tae You is widely recognized for his work on several acclaimed Korean television series that have gained international popularity. His notable productions include "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty" (폭군의 셰프), the globally successful "My Love from the Star" (별에서 온 그대), and the historically-themed drama "Deep Rooted Tree" (뿌리 깊은 나무). These series have contributed significantly to the Korean Wave phenomenon and have helped introduce Korean culture to international audiences.
During the interactive session, students at La Sapienza University had the unique chance to engage in direct conversation with the director. They were able to ask questions about various aspects of Korean drama production, gaining insights into the creative process behind some of Korea's most popular television content. The discussion covered topics related to the Korean entertainment industry and the cultural elements that make Korean dramas appealing to global audiences.
The event represents part of ongoing cultural exchange programs facilitated by Korean Cultural Centers abroad, aimed at promoting Korean culture and fostering deeper understanding between Korea and international communities. Such initiatives help bridge cultural gaps and provide educational opportunities for students interested in Korean media and entertainment.
