Actress Kwon So-hyun shared her feelings ahead of her first theater stage.
Kwon So-hyun will meet audiences by appearing in the play "Jeong-hee," which runs at Daehangno YES24 Art One Theater 3 through June 14. In particular, she is taking on a new challenge with a stage work for the first time since her debut.
Before going on stage, Kwon So-hyun said through her agency Cube Entertainment Corp., "I am nervous to do my first play, but I am also excited at the thought of being on stage after a long time. As a spinoff work, we tried to preserve what existed while discovering Jeong-hee's essence, and because it is one actor playing two roles, we prepared a process that clearly gives change."
She added, "'Jeong-hee' is a work that makes you feel the warmth of people, like 'I wish someone like Jeong-hee were next to me' or 'I wish there were someone by Jeong-hee's side.' It is a play that awakens the strength to live as one person, and I hope people watch it with a feeling of cheering on that process of change."
"Jeong-hee" is a spinoff of the popular 2018 tvN drama "My Mister," reinterpreted from the perspective of Jeong-hee, who runs Jeong-hee's, an old bar in Huidae-dong, Seoul. Starting in the familiar space called "Jeong-hee's," it follows how small cracks move a person's time.
Kwon So-hyun plays Jian and young Jeong-hee in the play, leading the story as the central axis that intersects Jeong-hee's narrative and delicately portraying the changing emotional line.
Kwon So-hyun plays the lead role Ju-hee in the film "Tango of Dawn," which opens on the 22nd of this month. After earlier news of being cast in the drama "Empathy Cells," she is building her standing as an actor by working across genres including theater, film, and drama.
