We at Kotaᆯia we had the pleasure of being able to interview Paolo Quilici, who told us about his experience in Korea.
For those who don't know him yet, Paolo has an important career as a television writer. Some of the programs he has worked on are: The Island of the Famous, The Farm, X Factor and Benedetta's Menus. Furthermore, for years he has been one of the authors of Beijing Express, one of whose editions took place in our beloved Korea.
Since 2020 it has given life to K-popcast Italy, the first Italian podcast dedicated to K-pop and Korean culture. Yes, because Paolo is so passionate about Korea and, as he revealed in the interview, he dedicates every free moment to this country and its culture.
Recently, he won first prize in the "Corea in Camera" competition for the best video, promoted byEmbassy of the Republic of Korea and fromKorean Cultural Institute.
Last October, thanks to the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea, was invited by MOFA, the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to take a trip in the company of thirteen influencers from around the world, who share a love for Korea. Paolo tells us about this new and incredible experience through videos on the YouTube channel Consulate General of the Republic of Korea.

Paolo Quilici and his love for Korea they don't stop here! He also published a book, We Love Korea, with the publisher Cairo in 2021. In the interview he spoke about it at length and we reviewed it for the books section of Kotaᆯia. Continue to follow us to read the review in the next few days…
Furthermore, together with a group of friends he created a page on Instagram, Jjinitalia, to share Italian culture with Koreans.
I won't take any more time to tell you who Paolo is and how Korea has inserted itself fully into his life; I'll let you listen to his words directly in the video interview, because the passion with which he speaks to us about this country will make you feel as if you have finally arrived home.
Happy Vision!
