Minister Yoo will attend the event to celebrate the 30-year achievements of the School of Drama and deliver a message of encouragement. He will also visit the K'Arts Seocho Campus and the Arts Center for the commemorative events, followed by watching the commemorative performance "Motmalleuneun Frankenstein" (The Unstoppable Frankenstein).

"Motmalleuneun Frankenstein," directed by Professor Namgung Ho of the School of Drama, is a parody work that adds comedy to the original "Frankenstein." The story unfolds from the perspectives of each main character through changes in space and audience positioning. K'Arts alumni actors Choi Jae-rim and Song Sang-eun make special appearances.

Founded in 1994, the K'Arts School of Drama is a specialized institution that trains theater artists. It has consistently produced award winners in various fields of theater arts such as acting, directing, playwriting, and stage art, including awards for acting, directing and production, playwriting, and stage art.

Notable alumni actors include Oh Man-seok, Jin Sun-kyu, Park So-dam, Jang Hye-jin, and Inupam. Playwright Bae Sam-sik, who wrote "White Cherry" and "Lear," and director Jeon In-cheol, known for the plays "Model Students," "Kyrie," and the musical "Agatha," also honed their skills at the School of Drama.

Minister Yoo In-chon said, "The School of Drama has strived to promote the charm of theater, which dramatically portrays human joy, agony, and reflection," and added, "I hope the K'Arts School of Drama will further strengthen its role as a professional arts training institution and make a new leap forward."
