On the 30th, Jeon Mi-do successfully concluded the first 10th anniversary performance of the musical "Maybe Happy Ending," held at Doosan Art Center Yeongang Hall, reuniting with the audience in the role of Claire after about five years. With attention focused on the comeback of the original cast of the six-time Tony Award-winning "Maybe Happy Ending," Jeon Mi-do said through her agency, "I was moved to be back on stage as Claire after a long time. I thank the audience who came to the theater so we can finish the 10th anniversary with a happy ending."
In the first performance marking the 10th anniversary, Jeon Mi-do's acting, which recreated the emotion of the premiere, shone. Jeon Mi-do immersed herself in the role of the helper robot Claire, delicately portraying the emotional line of realizing her love for Oliver, adding depth to the emotion. Jeon Mi-do rendered the musical's popular duet numbers "What Love Is" and "You Can Remember Only That" with a clear voice, transparently revealing Claire's pure heart.
Jeon Mi-do showed Claire's spirited sides with solid vocal ability while completing the narrative of learning love through emotional changes with high-density acting.

After the first 10th anniversary performance of "Maybe Happy Ending" ended, audience members left praise such as "As expected, Live Up to Your Name Mido Claire," "Even though the direction and stage changed, Mido Claire remains lovely," and "Consistently a master singer. A must-see again," expressing anticipation for upcoming performances. Returning to the stage of the musical "Maybe Happy Ending" for the first time in five years since the 2020 run, Jeon Mi-do plans to demonstrate the original cast's presence with even more detailed acting.
The musical "Maybe Happy Ending," in which Jeon Mi-do appears, is set in future Seoul and depicts the story of the helper robot Claire and Oliver realizing the emotion of love; it became a hot topic by winning six awards at the 78th Tony Awards in 2025. Having begun in small theaters in Daehangno and successfully reached Broadway in the United States, the musical "Maybe Happy Ending" marks its 10th anniversary, and Jeon Mi-do's activities are drawing even more anticipation.
