WJSN's Soobin successfully completed the final performance of the musical "Burn the Witch."
Soobin Park appeared in the musical "Burn the Witch," which ran at Hongik University Daehangno Art Center from Jul. 8, delivering a range of emotional acting and deeper acting skills, and completed the final performance on the 11th.
Through her agency, Starship Entertainment, Soobin Park said, "It feels like just yesterday that I received the script and prepared for the stage with half excitement and half worry, but I'm proud and also regretful to already offer my final greeting. As I took on the role of "Love" in "Burn the Witch," I was able to learn a great deal both in terms of acting and mindset."
Above all, gaining courage and anticipation for stages I will stand on in the future through a new challenge seems to be the most valuable and precious thing. I want to thank our Ujung (official fan club name), who supported me throughout the performances, and I hope you will look forward to seeing me in various ways in the future," she said.
The musical "Burn the Witch" is a black comedy that uses "witch hunting" as its theme and depicts the journey of top star "Love" meeting the witch "Mama," changing and growing. As an immersive (audience participation) work, it completed a richer performance with deeper emotional sharing between actors and audience and the added energy of the live setting.
Although Soobin Park is a top star who receives public attention and love, she took on the role of "Love," who is also attacked by them, and delivered more varied acting. In particular, she carefully expressed "Love's" emotions—who, contrary to her glamorous exterior, suffers inner wounds and confusion—demonstrating stage presence with performances that touched the audience's sensibilities.
In addition, Soobin Park perfectly handled the assigned numbers with a powerful and emotionally rich vocal, enhancing the immersion of the play.
In Jul. 2023, Soobin Park made her musical debut with "Aloha, My Mothers," and in "The Great Comet" she proved delicate acting and expressiveness and outstanding vocal power, leaving a strong impression as a musical actor. Through "Burn the Witch," she challenged a distinctive character and added to expectations for her activities as a next-generation musical star with more three-dimensional acting and solid vocals, and she has been cast as the lead role "Marlee" in the musical "Marlee," which opens on Dec. 20.
Meanwhile, the musical "Marlee," in which Soobin Park appears, can be seen at the Baekam Art Hall from Dec. 20 to Feb. 15, 2026.
