A new academy offering comprehensive entertainment training, AZENC, has opened in Fukuoka, providing an opportunity to learn directly from top Korean instructors who have choreographed for major K-pop stars like BLACKPINK, TWICE, NiziU, and ITZY. Following its Tokyo campus, AZENC Hakata is the second location in Japan, offering courses in dance, vocal training, and acting, aimed at nurturing talent to succeed not only in Japan but also internationally.

Special Guest: Korean Actor Kim Jung-hyun

The opening ceremony of AZENC Hakata featured notable guests, including AZENC founder Megumi Someya, and Korean actor Kim Jung-hyun. Known for his roles in Crash Landing on You and Mr. Queen, Kim shared his acting experiences and advice. When asked how he manages the emotional toll of acting, he emphasized the importance of separating oneself from the character, saying, “If you don’t, it becomes difficult to express the role. When things get tough, I find it helpful to exercise, hang out with friends, or travel to refresh myself.”

On future roles, he shared, “I don’t set specific characters I want to play, as that can prevent me from fully focusing on the role. What’s important is having a meaningful dialogue with the work.”

Kim also delivered an encouraging message to those aspiring to succeed in Korea, saying, “Never forget your passion and vision of who you want to become. Treasure the present moment.” He wrapped up his speech with a heartfelt “頑張って” (Good luck!) in Japanese.

Conclusion

AZENC Hakata is the perfect bridge for young talent in Japan looking to break into the Korean entertainment scene. To celebrate the grand opening, the academy is offering a one-month free trial to new students.
