The group NCT member Do-young (affiliated with SME) successfully concluded the Seoul performance of "The Man Who Laughs."
Do-young played the role of Gwynplaine, who has a terrible face but possesses purity, in the musical adaptation of the novel by French author Victor Hugo, "The Man Who Laughs," garnering attention for his rich and intense portrayal of a wide range of emotions, including excitement, confusion, fear, and sadness.
Especially from the very first performance, Do-young has received acclaim for his dynamic expressiveness, exceptional singing ability, and his unique interpretation that captures the freshness of youth, becoming "Gwynplaine himself." On the final stage held in Seoul on the 25th, he showcased a powerful performance that maximized the play's emotional impact, leading to standing ovations from the audience.
Above all, on this day, Do-young's final performance recorded a complete sell-out immediately upon ticket sales opening and additional seats were made available on the performance day, showcasing the overwhelming popularity.
Upon finishing the performance, Do-young expressed, "It was truly a gift-like time. I was able to learn and grow a lot through Gwynplaine and "The Man Who Laughs." I would like to thank again the actors, staff, and orchestra who gifted me such time. Above all, thanks to the audience who came to the theater and sent their support and love, I was able to wrap it up well until the end. I think I will never forget this for the rest of my life."
Do-young, who has worked in various fields such as music, entertainment, MCing, and acting, has now made a solid impression as the lead in a musical work, raising expectations for what new aspects he will present in the future.
After successfully completing the Seoul performance of "The Man Who Laughs," Do-young is scheduled to meet with audiences in Daegu, Seongnam, and Busan.
