Actor Yu Jun-sang recounted a harrowing injury he experienced during a performance.
Yu Jun-sang appeared on KBS CoolFM's Park Myung-soo's Radio Show broadcast on the 27th and revealed an anecdote about being actually cut by a knife on stage during a musical performance.
He recalled the time during the musical Robin Hood, saying, "An opposing actor's knife tore my forehead and there was a lot of blood. Coincidentally, the lyrics were about blood, so while wiping the blood I sang with heightened combativeness. The audience must have felt it was real."
He added, "Because I sang the song more powerfully, the conductor even fell backward."
Although the situation was urgent, the performance did not stop. Yu Jun-sang recalled, "If it hadn't been that theater, we probably would have stopped the show. Coincidentally, there was a plastic surgery clinic on the eighth floor, so during the 20-minute intermission I had 11 stitches sewn without anesthesia and went back on stage," adding, "I endured the pain because refunds would have caused enormous losses to the production company."
Meanwhile, Yu Jun-sang will appear on stage in the original musical Behind the Moon, which opens on Nov. 11.
