Actor Eom Gi-joon returned with the play 'Art'.
Eom Gi-joon recently grants in 'Art,' a black comedy that cheerfully unravels how the long-standing friendship of three men begins to crack over a single painting. The clash of opinions surrounding the seemingly simple white painting gradually spreads into emotional confrontations, and the process of relationship rifts and reconciliation naturally emerges through everyday dialogue.
Among them, Eom Gi-joon took on the role of Serge, a sophisticated dermatologist who is very interested in art. Serge is the character who sparks the conflict by purchasing the white canvas painting that sets the play's events in motion.
At the opening performance held on the 1st, Eom Gi-joon dominated the stage with a stable voice, delicate expressions and detailed eye acting, eliciting empathy from the audience. It was truly "Art." He vividly conveyed the character's complex inner emotions such as selfishness and jealousy, completely merging into Serge himself, and proved his presence as the central axis driving the play's flow. In scenes combining intense fights and playful ad-libs, laughter and tension intertwined, drawing the audience in.
Immediately after the performance, audience members reacted with comments such as "I was waiting for Eom Gi-joon's Serge," "Eom Gi-joon was Serge himself," and "As expected, a trusted actor — he is really good," offering enthusiastic praise.
Eom Gi-joon, who performed the same role for audiences in the 2018, 2020 and 2024 seasons, returned to the stage as Serge with a deeper interpretation and relaxed stage manner that elevated the character's completeness. With added time came more refined emotional lines and natural rhythm, once again proving the label "a trusted actor."
Eom Gi-joon expressed his feelings, saying, "It is an honor to greet the audience again with a work I love so much. I hope this production provides a time of enjoyment to many people." He also directly pointed out viewing highlights, saying, "Following the characters' emotional lines as they change over time, the intermittent laugh points and the humor that comes from the flavor of the dialogue will entertain the audience throughout the running time."
