'Musical superstar' Kim Junsu and Jeong Seon-a showcased their remarkable storytelling skills on 'Narae's Table'.
On the afternoon of the 9th, the 42nd episode featuring musical actors Kim Junsu and Jeong Seon-a was uploaded to Park Na-rae's YouTube channel 'Narae's Table' under the title 'First impressions, norovirus stories, musical actors weddings, vocal management tips, favorite numbers'.
Kim Junsu debuted in the musical world in 2010 with 'Mozart,' achieving the remarkable feat of selling out every performance.
Recalling that time, Jeong Seon-a noted, "It was truly sensational. The attitude towards the musical was great, and I had never seen such an emotional Mozart before."
She continued, "All seats in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of the Sejong Center stood up. I have never heard such loud and desperate cheers in my musical life until then," expressing her emotional memories of that moment. She added, "A history was written in the musical world. Even now, it feels so incredible, and I am so grateful," displaying her pride as a colleague.
In addition, Kim Junsu established the musical actor management company Palm Tree Island in 2021 and is leading the company as its representative. Kim Junsu emphasized a horizontal and creative organizational culture, stating, "I may hold the title of representative, but everyone has a sense of ownership."
Jeong Seon-a praised Kim Junsu's operational philosophy, which focuses on the talents and potential of each actor. She said, "Honestly, when you run a company, you can only move based on money, but he is not a representative who only looks at what makes money. He puts in a lot of effort to promote the talents of the actors and what they have," while acknowledging the challenges of running a company solely focused on musical actors, she praised Kim Junsu for doing well.
Jeong Seon-a joked, "I wonder if we can make any profit operating like this," and Kim Junsu candidly revealed, "We do have a standard that says, 'We cannot incur losses,'" drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, last month, a female broadcaster identified as A was sentenced to 7 years in prison for blackmailing Kim Junsu and extorting money from him. According to the court, A illegally recorded private conversations with Kim Junsu from September 2020 to October 2023 and threatened to distribute them on social media, allegedly extorting approximately 840 million won over 101 instances. The appeals court noted that the mobile phone used in the crime could cause additional harm and ordered its confiscation.
