KRThree Korean opera singers—Kim Geon, Choi Young, and Roh Minhyung—overcame personal doubts and academic challenges to enter the Korea National Opera's training program, KNO Studio. Despite initial self-doubt and limited experience, they were accepted into the competitive program, which selects around 25–30 singers annually from hundreds of applicants. Through this program, they gained opportunities to train and eventually secure scholarships to Deutsche Oper Berlin, one of Europe’s most prominent opera companies. The partnership between Korea National Opera and Deutsche Oper Berlin covers half of the singers' salaries, allowing talented individuals to gain international exposure. Now, two of the three have completed their tenure at the German opera house, while the third prepares to join.
