Writer Park Chun-hyu, who achieved six Tony Awards with the musical 'Maybe Happy Ending,' will appear on 'Home Alone.'
The episode airing on the 29th of MBC 'Home Alone' (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Kim Jin-kyung, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Ki-young) will showcase Park Chun-hyu's daily life in New York, who swept the 78th Tony Awards with the Korean original musical 'Maybe Happy Ending.'
The musical 'Maybe Happy Ending' was created to help humanity, but it portrays the process by which the abandoned robots 'Oliver' and 'Claire' come to understand the most human emotion, love. Through this, Park Chun-hyu earned the Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Original Score/Tony Awards, becoming the first Asian winner of the Tony Awards.
Having started living alone while studying in New York and being in his 18th year of living alone, Park Chun-hyu noted, "I think New York is my identity since I've lived close to half of my life here," revealing his thoughts on life in New York. Passing through the busy streets of New York, he headed to the Belasco Theatre on Broadway, which has a 100-year history where 'Maybe Happy Ending' is being performed. The sight of endless lines of audience members waiting to see 'Maybe Happy Ending' catches the eye.
Passing by the scenery in front of the theater with a satisfied smile, Park Chun-hyu opened the stage door for the staff and entered backstage. Park Chun-hyu headed towards the auditorium where the audience was entering and gazed at the stage from a place called 'the Writer's Alley.' Nervously, he confessed, "It's a job condition that's been going on for 10 years(?)," revealing his heart before the performance began.
Finally, the performance began, and Park Chun-hyu watched the audience's backs and the stage. His tearful expression as 'Maybe Happy Ending' reached its conclusion captured attention. What could have moved him to tears remains a curiosity. Additionally, Park Chun-hyu's meeting with the actors and staff backstage after the performance will also be revealed.
Meanwhile, Park Chun-hyu's commute home on the subway from Broadway and his scene at home eating his favorite ramen while watching Korean entertainment programs will be also revealed. He mentioned, "There is no 'this' in the ramen sold in New York," teasing his own recipe that replaces 'this.'
The behind-the-scenes of the Broadway musical 'Maybe Happy Ending' and writer Park Chun-hyu's daily life in New York will be available on 'Home Alone,' airing at 11:10 p.m. on the 29th.
