Actor Lee Sang-yoon will return to the stage in The Merchant of Venice.

Lee Sang-yoon will appear in the play The Merchant of Venice, which opens on the 8th at the National Theater of Korea Haeoreum Theater in Jangchung-dong, Seoul, and is expected to deliver the essence of comedy.

The Merchant of Venice is both the quintessence of Shakespearean comedy and an intense courtroom drama, and Lee Sang-yoon will play the nobleman Bassanio, who heads to Belmont. Performing as the sole cast, Lee Sang-yoon is expected to enhance the play's persuasiveness with his characteristically delicate emotional acting.

In particular, Lee Sang-yoon has previously appeared in numerous plays, including Almost, Maine; The Last Session; Closer; Death of a Salesman; Waiting for Godot; and Turing Machine. Having steadily taken the stage and become a reliably watchable actor, Lee Sang-yoon's true worth is expected to be confirmed in The Merchant of Venice as well.

Following his role as a genius mathematician, anticipation is growing over what kind of performance Lee Sang-yoon will show in The Merchant of Venice.
